About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This house is a 3 bedroom(s), 1 bathrooms, located in Durham, NC.

Nestled in the heart of one of Durham's most popular historic downtown neighborhoods, this cozy bungalow is the perfect place to stay. A 15-minute walk or minutes drive to the best the Bull City has to offer. Easy access to Duke, DPAC, Durham Bulls Park, Duke Hospital, Nasher Museum of Art, outstanding restaurants, coffee shops, parks, trails, and more.

And it’s equipped with the latest in technology: Fiber WIFI, 55-inch smart TV, streaming services, and "Alexa" at the ready.

The entire home is for guests and is accessible with an electronic lock. Private driveway and free, off-street parking is provided.

We will not be on the property, but reach out anytime via the AirBnB app or our cell. If you need us, we're here.

The bungalow sits between Durham's Morehead Hills historic neighborhood - adjacent to the lovely Historic Forest Hills neighborhood. Its shady, tree-lined streets feel quiet and removed, yet the best of downtown is just minutes away - Duke, NC Central University, DPAC, the Durham Bulls Park, American Tobacco, Duke Gardens, Durham Central Park/Farmers Market, Duke Lemur Center, Nasher Museum of Art, and so much more. Countless local restaurants, shopping and entertainment are all within a short drive (3 to 10 minutes), quick bike ride (5 - 10 minutes) or long stroll (15 to 25 minutes).

The American Tobacco Trail (a 23-mile stretch of retired railroad converted to a running and walking trail) runs along the eastern side of Forest Hills.

Both Forest Hills Park and Lyon Park are a short walk away - each featuring playgrounds, basketball courts, picnic facilities, and lots of open space to run and play.

Come see why so many Bull City natives and Triangle visitors love this one-of-a-kind neighborhood.

*UPDATE ON COVID-19*
Thanks for considering our space. For peace of mind, know that the house is professionally cleaned by a commercial cleaner after every stay. That means all services are washed and sanitized before you stay. If you have any questions about this, please reach out to us.

Our 1935 bungalow was lovingly restored to capture its original charm, with lots of modern upgrades. Its 1300 square-feet offers original heart pine floors and period artisan tile, arched entry ways and local artwork.

Two bedrooms offer sleeping for up to 6, with another 2 sleeping in the sun-room converted into a bedroom. Please note that the sunroom is blocked off with noise/light canceling curtains, a sound machine and futon that folds out into a double bed. There are no doors on this room. Check out pictures in the listing to learn more about this space.

The modern, fully-stocked kitchen has everything you need to dish up your favorite meals. All new appliances -- refrigerator, range, microwave, coffeemaker, and more. Basic groceries like coffee, tea, oil, sugar, and spices provided. Shop any of the conveniently located grocery stores or co-ops in the neighborhood.

The bathroom features handmade tile that we've restored to its original charm. Plus plenty of extra toiletries to share.

Looking to zone out? The 55-inch smart TV comes equipped with streaming services including Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and HULU. Extra outlets and smartphone chargers are conveniently placed in each room.

The spacious, covered front porch with seating for up to six, faces a quiet tree-lined street. Walkable to parks and playgrounds, running/biking trails and of course, the best of downtown Durham.

The large back deck overlooks a private, fenced-in yard with lots of room to play.

Perfect for families too. Comes stocked with kid toys, high chair, portable crib, bibs, kid plates, bowls, cutlery, cups, a sippies.

Perfect house in great neighborhood
This house is in the perfect location to downtown Durham. It is a nice and safe neighborhood. We walked around and could imagine living in a neighborhood just like this. The house was clean and looked just like the pictures online. The beds were very comfy! My kids were very happy having their own spaces (the little futon room was a gem to my son). The house was equipped with all of the basics we needed. We enjoyed wine on the front porch and would have enjoyed the backyard more if our stay had been longer. I would definitely recommend staying here. It was the perfect home away from home; so much better than a hotel.

Cute home near Duke Campus and downtown Durham
I rented this home for parents weekend at Duke and was pleased! The listing is very accurate and home is comfortable. I was hoping it would be walking distance to Duke, but was a very easy drive. I would stay again!

Living with grandsons
My daughter, son in law and grandsons live in Durham. I wanted to spend time with them without wearing thin my welcome. So I rented this home in forest hills for two weeks. It worked out perfectly because my grandsons lived with me for two weeks and we had a ball. The home was clean, well provisioned and ideally located for the schools for the boys. Would definitely rent this place again

Perfect location, cute house
This cute house was in a safe and beautiful neighborhood close to Duke, the ball park and all of the other downtown attractions. The bedrooms are large, the bathroom is funky (in a good way), and the yard was perfect for our kids. We loved hanging out on the front porch. Overall I highly recommended this place.

We had a wonderful time staying here in March on vacation. The house is clean, well-kept, and comfortable, and it has amazing outdoor space for socially-distant time with friends and family. I would strongly recommend this property to anyone coming to Durham.

Great property
We enrolled our stay at this property! Great location, quiet neighborhood. Property was very clean and pictures were accurate of what the house looked like. Good fit for 3 adults and 3 kids. We were traveling with a 2 year old and was very happy that there were toys there for him to play, with as well!

Excellent location.
The home was just as listed. It was in an excellent location. Close to family. The home was clean when we got there. The only thing was that someone left something in the dryer which we had to dry again. That wasn’t a big problem. Great kitchen and comfy beds. I will stay again if I’m ever in town!

Very nice house with great proximity to downtown Durham. The house was very clean, had comfortable beds and had a lot of charm especially being an older house with newer renovations. If you are going to DPAC or anything downtown it was a great alternative to a hotel.
