Spacious, welcoming, energy-efficient home with an open living concept. Located in an urban, diverse neighborhood minutes from many of Durham's favorite coffee shops, breweries and restaurants. Driveway with room to park multiple cars. The home has salvaged barnwood floors, marble counters in the well-stocked kitchen, and a lofted front porch with cushioned seating and hammock chairs. The location near to downtown makes it a perfect home-away-from-home for a weekend or longer! The open concept living / dining / kitchen are cozy and welcoming. Our builder focuses on utilizing salvaged green building materials where possible, so while the space is new, it has lots of character! It is a far cry from a cookie cutter new build and is unlike any place you've ever stayed. We fell in love with the charming home on first sight and we hope you will love it too! The house has four queen bedrooms. Two of the rooms have a Jack and Jill bath between. There is a second full bathroom accessible from the common area. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy. The leather sofa and side rocking chairs in the living room, and pivoting TV allow for a comfortable place to gather or wind down. There is covered deck at the front of the house, and a deck with table in the fully fenced in backyard. The entire home is yours to enjoy, including the decks, backyard and washer/dryer. We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises. We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a sudden urge for a new haircut or a desperate need for a donut, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen. The house is 7/10ths of a mile from the DIY District including Motorco, Geer St Garden, Fullsteam Brewery and Cocoa Cinnamon. It's also an easy trip to Duke, RTP, the downtown Farmer's Market, & many local (and delicious) restaurants/cafes & local bars/breweries. The house is in an urban, income diverse neighborhood. Our home next door on Alston Ave also serves as a Vacation Rental with a gate connecting the two yards, "| Modern Open Bright | Spacious + Clean Aesthetic" The house is very easy to access and is a short drive to downtown, NC147, I85 and Durham's main thoroughfares. If you're taking a bus, there are many bus lines that should easily drop you off very close to our house. Lyfts and Ubers are abundant in the area as well. We have a Smart TV with access to Netflix, your Amazon or Hulu account, and many other apps. We Cut the Cord on Cable, but offer YouTubeTV which functions similar to Cable and offers tons of Live or On Demand Options!
