Brand New Restoration! Duke West Bungalow
Summary: Beautiful 2024 restoration from one of Durham's premier historic home renovation companies, Pier & Curtain Home Restoration. With exacting attention to detail and an ethos for historic preservation, this home was not only renovated but curated to pamper your friends and family while visiting Durham. The Designer home offers Quartzite kitchen counters, a feature gas range, gorgeous en suites with ceramic tile baths and a bonus half bath. Completely new systems (plumbing, HVAC and electrical) bridge this wonderful historic bungalow into the 21st century. Private screened porch perfect for your morning coffee, or enjoying the evening. Private driveway and abundant on street parking. Steps from EVERYTHING Durham has to offer, and minutes to Duke West Campus and hospitals!
Guest Access: The entire house and yard is yours to use and explore!
The Neighborhood: From your steps, take a 3 minute walk for bagels at Isaac's Bagels, groceries at the Durham Co-op, or coffee and brunch at Grub. Easy access to Ninth Street, Duke East and West Campuses, DPAC, Durham Bulls Stadium and downtown restaurants and bars. Upon Booking, we will share an expansive and comprehensive list of all of our Favorites!
Getting Around: There are many bus lines that should take you very near our house; We're centrally located; by car, we're approximately 3 minutes from I-85 or NC-147, or an easy walk / Lyft / Uber ride downtown.
Other Things to Note: 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!
Interaction with Guests: 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 vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Great location and place to stay
The location is very good if you’re heading to Duke for any reason. It’s also close to the downtown for restaurants. The house is very clean and the host is very responsive.

Wonderful Stay!
We absolutely loved our stay in this Durham Bungalow. It was perfect for our group! It was close to everything and nothing was more than a 10 minute drive. The house itself was so cute and we would definitely return the next time we are in Durham!

Loved our stay!
Our grandson was admitted to Duke and wanted us to join him for "Admit Day". We were able to walk to Duke, so the location was great. The bungalow was lovingly restored. Restaurants within walking distance.

Durham Trip
Upon arrival you are instantly greeted by beautiful hardwood floors. The immaculate layout of this little cottage & the bright open kitchen painted in beautiful neutral tones is so inviting. Each bedroom with its own bath is decorated to perfection. The screened in back porch is a wonderful place to relax.
