MUSICAL LIVING ROOM

The sun-drenched open-concept living room is a great place to hang out and relax and play records, play the piano, try out the OCULUS 2 VR headset and controllers, play board games, or snuggle up with fresh-popped popcorn and gum balls and watch your favorite shows and movies on the 65` Smart TV with Netflix, HBO, and more. Turn on the electric fireplace for warmth or just an elevated look and feel.

The living room has seating for 8, plus 2 more seats at the kitchen island. The antique piano desk functions as a desk and also has a professional keyboard with weighted keys and a pedal inside. You`re able to disconnect the piano if little fingers can`t keep their hands off it :) The gum ball machine takes quarters that you`ll be reimbursed for. We did this intentionally to keep the little ones in check :) All proceeds go to charity.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
Hi! I'm from Los Angeles and have lived in NY, Florence, and Sydney. I love traveling, and I spend most summers in Europe. I love investing and creating beautiful, unique spaces and experiences that inspire a sense of calm and joy. That's why I started Lagom Home (lagomhome.co).

Why they chose this property

Durham is a beautifully diverse, artsy town, sort of like Brooklyn. Our street is quiet yet only 5 minutes from downtown and Duke! Our neighbors are lovely and keep to themselves, and if you give them a friendly smile and wave, you can expect them to do the same! Our neighborhood is a mix of modern homes and historic and older homes. The area is rapidly changing.

The home is just 5 minutes from Downtown Durham, Duke, and the American Tobacco Trail, 10 minutes to RTP, and 15 minutes to the airport-- this is the place to be! You can walk to the American Tobacco trail and it's a quick 1.3 mile Uber or drive to the Durham Bulls athletic Park, the Durham Performing Arts Center, and some of the best restaurants and nightlife in the area. You may even see a scooter around the neighborhood you're welcome to grab.

What makes this property unique

The design was inspired by some of my favorite photographs from Architectural Digest, and then I added a bunch of special touches that I though adults and children alike would love. But don't take it from me--listen to past guests had to say!

"Jill's place is a knock-out! It is like no other. The quality of materials and attention to detail in the design of the home is outrageous. She is next-level!"
Hans, August 2023

"If you’ve ever been in a 5 stars airbnb, it’s beyond that. The amenities, the touches, the linen, the cleanliness, the materials chosen like the rugs, and there was even a big popcorn machine, a record player and well-equipped coffee stations! Really its beyond 5 stars."
-Alia, August 2023

"This is the best Airbnb in Durham that we have ever stayed at and one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve had anywhere! The house is beautiful, inside and out, and has amenities that are so thoughtfully supplied that make you feel completely at home as well as make everything feel not only easy but just down right pampered. The kids LOVED the popcorn machine, bubble gum machine, fenced in backyard, etc and these things made it where we weren’t rushing to leave the house every morning to find something to do…being at the house was enjoyable and a treat in and of itself to us all. Being able to turn the rumba on before heading out for the day made keeping the place tidy seem easy, having an ample coffee and tea bar made coming home after a long day of playing something to look forward to, and the shower in the master bath, y’all…so relaxing. Jill has thought of any amenity you could need not only in the kitchen but throughout the house and it shows. We will absolutely be back."
-Tiffany, September 2023
