Book it
The property is just as advertised. It was fresh, clean and well appointed. The attention to detail was apparent. I wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be returning. My only disappointment was that I couldn't take the house home with me!

Wonderful stay
This place was so beautiful and had everything i needed. I cant be sure if the beauty of the house dulls the neighbourhood or but the other homes felt older. The host was exceptionally wonderful and accommodated my requested check in time which was so great for me so thank you for that!

Lovely Sister Homes for A Linesister Reunion
We booked these sister properties back in the summer for Duke homecoming. We had no idea that our football team would actually be good! Lol... We had two houses for 8 women coming together for the 30th anniversary of our induction to our sorority. The homes - Modernist 5 and Modernist 6 - were new construction in a transitioning neighborhood. The houses are beautifully decorated with a modern design flair.
The neighborhood was quiet. We didn't see many folks outside or walking around, though we were gone quite a bit during our two-day stay. We used the bigger unit - Modernist 6 - as our fellowship and dining space. It was easy to walk between the two properties.
The location was perfect and about 10 minutes from Duke. Shopping was also nearby, as well as downtown Durham.
The neighborhood is in transition, with another new house under construction across the street and 3-4 newer homes on the block. However, there is a pretty shabby house across the street and next door to Modernist 6. No scary. Just very shabby.
We never felt unsafe. And, again, both houses were beautiful, new, and shiny... Check-in was easy, the host was even able to accommodate an early check-in for one of the houses. They did so without hesitation and with no extra charge.
I highly recommend both Modernist 5 and Modernist 6!
