Your perfect Bully City pied-à-terre! This modern 2 bedroom apartment is hidden away in one of Durham's ubiquitous alleys, 2 blocks from Duke and Brightleaf Square, and 5 blocks to the heart of Durham. You'll enjoy a light-filled private retreat with a real cook's kitchen, quaint balcony and all the amenities you need to feel at home. Book your visit to this highly rated guest fave! Off street parking. Pet friendly. No smoking/vaping on premises. We're recently retired, and have a lot of adventures planned, so our friend Emily will be your main contact. She lives a few blocks away if you need anything. Historic Trinity Park is one of Durham’s most sought-after neighborhoods, both for its historic architecture and prime location. The tree lined streets connect to parks, Duke’s East campus, and right to the heart of downtown. I love that I can enjoy the peace and quiet on my street, and within a 5 minute walk be in the middle of everything. You'll have full, private access to this second floor apartment, as well as parking for 1 vehicle. You will not have access to the ground floor of the garage, or to the back yard. You'll reach the apartment via Alley 17, between Lamond St. & Gloria Ave - alley can be accessed via Watts St, Gregson St OR the parking lot of 1006 Lamond Ave. Park beside the garage/apt outside, next to the Grey Camper Van. Enter alley from Watts or Gregson st. Alley is between Lamond and Gloria Ave. Please note: Parking on Gloria Ave itself is limited to 2 hours. Take advantage of the dedicated spot in the alley! Built 2016. Location is great for walking downtown and Duke's east campus. Free buses can get you farther downtown or to West campus. Uber is also prevalent and popular here, as are electric scooters.

Jul 31, 2025 #### UNC Friends’ Reunion We enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment, which is in a beautiful neighborhood and walkable to many restaurants and points of interest. Emily was also great to work with. My only suggestion would be to add a “letter B” on the building or signage that more clearly identifies the unit. We’ll definitely stay there again for future visits! ##### Grace O. ### 6/10 Okay #### Patrick C. Apr 10, 2025 ##### Patrick C.
