Lovely, Spacious & Sunny: Main Floor of Home - Near Duke, UNC, Durham w/ Nature!

Your home is sweet, sunny, and in a quiet neighborhood of older homes and trees. It is the full main floor, with an open concept foyer, kitchen and living room, with modest but comfortable furnishings. The living / dining room is large, with a nice sofa and sleeper love seat, and stuffed reading chairs which are cozy, but worn. The bedrooms are super-comfortable and have either pillow top or memory foam beds. Pictures and plants make it more a home than simply a rental. She's a bit of an old lady, but with a fully refurbished interior. :)

Your home encompasses the full main floor of the house (1450 square feet), and is fully furnished and outfitted with linens, complete kitchenware/supplies, and cleaning supplies. You have easy access from the 15/501 highway and are seven minutes from Duke Hospital/University, and approx. 20 minutes to University of Chapel Hill (UNC) & its Hospital. You'll have a large yard with seating and a multi-car parking area. Your host is in a separate lower (terrace) level apartment with its own entrance, parking and yard - all at the back of the house. The grounds are sloped, enabling the two separate homes.

Your living room is spacious and sunny (bay window) with a beautiful view of the woods at the back of the house. It has a comfortable sofa and chairs (worn but comfy), and includes a full dining area with an old dark wood expandable dining table.

Your kitchen is fully outfitted and is also very sunny. It includes its own nice table and chairs. It faces the front of the house with the large yard giving additional spaciousness to the interior.

The en suite bedroom has light true oak furniture - old but nice, and includes a private bath with shower. There are two large windows, with an additional one in its bath.

The second bedroom is the next largest, with a pillow top mattress bed, also queen. This room has two large windows, one of which faces east with the back yard and trees.

The third bedroom is small but sweet and comfortable. It has a large east-facing window, light grey walls, and all-white furniture. The bed is a comfortable twin, with extra drawer storage under the bed.

The second bathroom has a tub as well as shower (rain shower head). It is in the hallway and shared by the two bedrooms.

There is a pull-out love seat twin sofa bed (padded for a good sleep), and a full-sized air mattress if needed. The house is large, and fabulous for family and friends gatherings, so has options for more sleepers. :)

Please know that this is an older home with elements that are worn and may need repair. If you prefer one that is newer and more modern/pristine, and more in the heart of activity, this may not serve your needs. If you enjoy older homes with a bit of character :), that have space and yard and trees, and you don’t mind a bit of the age showing through the home and its furnishings, this might be a great pick.

Your host is in the separate apartment level, that has its own yard and entrance enabled by the sloped yard. The only area we share is the laundry which is on the host's level. It is enclosed, and you have your own washer, dryer and supplies. You likely won’t see us, but we are available by request or if there is something you need. Please know that we have two dogs, one who is quiet, and one which we are still training to be so. There is likely to be a bit of barking, but minimal.

A few environmentally positive notes: the house has solar panels, a part-clover & wild flower yard, a pollinator garden, and provides environmentally kind cleaners. As it is on the edge of Duke Forest, it is close to many wonderful trails.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have to help you determine if this is the right space for your stay. Thank you!
