About this property

Charming 2BR Bungalow ~ 4 Minutes to Duke University

Charming bungalow in Durham conveniently hosting 4 guests including 2br, 3 beds, 2 baths, living room, fully equipped kitchen and backyard. Adorned with rare cathedral ceilings, tucked away at the end of a quiet street, while only a few minutes from downtown. Lyon park is a mere 2 blocks over, and the house is walking distance to Durham Co-op market.

The space:

Freshly painted interior & exterior, HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical, water heater, windows, and appliances were ALL replaced in 2018.

Both bedrooms are equipped with extremely comfy beds - king bed (1st br) and 2 single beds (2nd br) - enabling 4 guests to relish sweet-lingering naps. Comfortably sit in the living room either by chilling or watching TV. Freely use all amenities and appliances in the fully equipped kitchen to cook all your meals. After a long day exploring the wonderful sights of Durham, take warm relaxing baths in the full bathrooms providing you with shampoo, body soap and shower gel. Step out to the backyard and enjoy the lush greenery surrounding you.

Washer and dryer free to use. Free parking on premises and free street parking available. WIFI provided throughout the listing.



Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, while only a few minutes from downtown and Duke University. Lyon park is a mere 2 blocks over, and the house is walking distance to Durham Co-op market. Walking is definitely an option as the nearest restaurants and grocery stores are not more than a mile away. Having a car though, enables you to visit a handful of fun places in Durham such as Sarah P. Duke Gardens, Durham Central Park and Nasher Museum of Art.

Okay
This property is pretty good but communication with the owner was delayed at first until VRBO was contacted. Owner was informed of burned out light bulbs and stained rugs - only response was to want pictures of the burned out bulbs. Kitchen was missing important items like dish towels, dishrags, trivets, and hot pads. In addition cutlery was minimal. We choose to stay in this sort of property because we want to be able to cook meals but this seemed only half prepared.

House comfortable but needs some TLC
We chose that property because it was near our daughter and granddaughter. The house needs some TLC. Many things needed to be fixed. We provided a list to the maintenance number listed. Definitely needs more than the one kitchen towel that was provided. There was not a single pot holder in the kitchen. With all the rain on Sunday the ceiling in the bathroom started leaking. Overall the house was comfortable and located near our daughter.

Comfortable little home
The property was very clean, easy to find and easy to get into. It was open and airy and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was nicely stocked and everything worked (stove, coffee maker, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave). We enjoyed our short stay and highly recommend it for anyone needing to visit the area. IT was a great value.

Excellent stay
We really enjoyed our stay and the location is very close to most everything in Durham. In a working class neighborhood I’m sure a lot of them are renters but the accommodations are great just like the pics. We have family in town and we were able to get where we needed and had an excellent place to come to at the end of the day. Neighbors were friendly. Lawn care is lacking but all in all I would stay here again. Great value.
