Loft 5 min from Duke

Summary:
Welcome to your new home away from home - a cozy and fun loft rental located just a half-block away from the iconic Duke University campus. Enjoy walking the peaceful tree-lined streets as you explore countless local eateries, shops, and walking trails. Step inside and you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, complete with retro decor that exudes character and charm. The loft features a stylish kitchenette, breakfast nook, and a pleasant work-space with a prime street view.

The Space:
Enjoy the freedom of this open-concept loft, allowing easy transitions from space to space. The retro decor perfectly complements the vibe of the Duke campus area. Enjoy a cup of coffee with a view from breakfast nook, or take in a movie in the cozy living room as you rest your feet after a day of exploring downtown Durham. Games are also provided for your enjoyment.

The bedroom area features a queen-sized daybed, that also has a pull-out trundle should you want extra sleeping space. Catch up on emails from the dedicated desk space which also offers a lovely view of the tree-lined street outside.

The living room couch is a futon that can be set up for a separate sleeping space for two. A pillow-top cushion is provided for extra comfort.

Guest Access:
Guests will enter from a shared exterior door with one other unit, but also enjoy the security of a second, locked ground-level door exclusively for this property. Ring cameras are also on-site for additional peace-of-mind.

Once through your private entrance, guests will then ascend one flight of stairs to a welcoming landing, complete with a bench to kick off your shoes and get comfortable. The loft is the entire second-floor unit.

The Neighborhood:
Peaceful, tree-lined street just north of the iconic Duke University Campus. Walking distance to countless local eateries, coffee shops, supermarkets and more.

Other Things to Note:
The loft features comfortably defined spaces while embracing open-concept living. Please note, this means there are no doors separating the living and sleeping spaces other than the bathroom.

This unit also does not offer a dishwasher or a laundry area. There is a laundromat conveniently located 0.3 mi away.

Street parking for two cars is available for guests during their stay. Please be sure to observe any city parking signs or restrictions.

Cute and Great Location
It’s a lovely condo in a lovely neighborhood. Plus I was able to walk to town through Duke’s east campus, a real pleasure. The condo was spotless and the host was very accessible and patient with my questions.

College visits
We were coming from out of state to visit Duke and UNC. This was a perfect location, close to everything and lots of restaurants within walking distance. The open concept and close quarters may have gotten to be too close for our family of 4 if we stayed longer, but super cute and unique for our 3 day stay! Highly recommend!!!!
