Charming 4BR Historic Home near Downtown & Duke, Spacious & Stylish

Had a good safe time

Property is in a great location for visiting Duke, it is very spacious and well set up, Issac’s Bagels, just around the corner, is a must visit! The house is historic and very spacious. It does show its age, but it is clean, beds are comfortable and set up well for a family visit.

We had two of our adult children and their significant others and our grandson in our party. We had found this listing because it included wheelchair accessible as a feature. We had our own ramps to get in at the back door. We used a 6’ ramp to get onto the porch and a 3’ ramp to get into the door of the kitchen. There were thresholds at each doorway on the first floor and my wife had no issues moving her power wheelchair over them. The bedrooms had plenty of room and having 3 bathrooms made getting ready easy. The location was great for convenience to the interstates and the neighborhood itself. There is a bagel shop around the corner that we used for breakfast on two mornings. Two blocks past that is the Durham Co-op Grocery which was handy for picking up some food to make dinner a couple of the nights. It is an old house, so it has character like uneven floors. However, they have done a nice job fixing up the interior and it is a nice place to stay.The listing provides a warning about the driveway being steep. The gutter dips at the entrance to the drive which makes the approach steep. You can avoid bottoming out if you take it slow and have reasonable clearance under your car.

This classic old house was perfect for our group of friends who came to town to see a musical show on the Duke campus. Convenient location and comfortable accommodations. Loved sitting on the big front porch chatting away. The host was very responsive to questions about the house and the area. Good to know that 3 bedrooms are upstairs, 1 down, to ensure access. If only the walls could talk this place would tell some stories!
