We're local to Durham, but your interaction will be with our daughter, Emily, and her team at Delighted Properties. They've been in and around Durham longer than we have and will take great care of you during your stay. Not that we're biased .

Old North Durham is one of the original Downtown Durham neighborhoods. With generous yards and gardens, you'll feel removed from the hustle and bustle, even though you're only a few blocks from the center of the action. You’re only a few blocks from award-winning Cocoa Cinnamon, Geer St. Garden, Hutchins Garage, Motorco Music Hall, Durty Bull Brewery, Corpse Reviver and the Blue Note with live music. Walk to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, jog to East Campus, or take yourself on a progressive food tour through downtown and back! You will feel far from the bustle, but you can’t find a better location to relax between activities.

Guests will have full private access to the home and property, including off-street parking for up to 2 cars and free street parking.
Enjoy access to the fenced backyard and front porch during your stay — ideal for morning coffee, relaxing after a day in the city, or spending time with your pets.
