Spacious Bedroom in Charming Single-Family Home - Walking Distance to Duke, Duke Hospital & VA $1000/month | Available June 1, 2026 Looking for a responsible tenant to share my home in Durham's most convenient neighborhood for Duke Hospital, VA, and Duke's main campus. This is a rare opportunity to live in one of the only single-family houses that is walking distance from the hospitals and the university. About me: I'm a scientist in my late 20s who completed my PhD at Duke and now work in drug discovery at UNC (hybrid schedule). I'm only home about one week per month, so you'll have the entire house to yourself roughly 75% of the time. What makes this special: The location is unbeatable - this house is actually a shorter walk to many Duke buildings than the Science Drive parking garage! I commuted by foot and bike throughout grad school, and it was perfect. Your private space: Large bedroom with generous closet and built-in shelving Fully Furnished Cork flooring for comfort and quiet Blackout cellular shades for uninterrupted sleep Shared spaces (furnished): Brand-new, custom-designed cook's kitchen with premium materials and new dishwasher New hardwood floors in common space Tile bathroom Screened front porch In-unit washer and dryer Energy-efficient heat pump for heating and cooling High-speed internet Outdoor perks: Established raised bed gardens plus an herb garden. You can use them as much as you'd like! Quiet dead-end street location Driveway parking plus street parking available Shed and attic storage if needed Plenty of bike storage Yard maintenance provided Short walk from many bus stops plus the Robertson Express if you want to go to UNC Ideal for: Duke students (undergrads & exchange students welcome!) Duke Hospital employees VA employees Anyone seeking a peaceful, convenient home base People who enjoy cooking and gardening The details: Rent: $1000/month Utilities: I cover 50% of water, electricity (heating/cooling), and internet even though I'm only home about a week per month Move-in: First month, last month, and one-month security deposit Lease: 6-month minimum No smoking No dogs; cats considered case-by-case Shared bathroom I loved living in this house during my time at Duke, and I'm looking for someone who will appreciate it as much as I do. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat or schedule a viewing! No smoking, no dogs, cats allowed on case-by-case basis, 6 month minimum lease term, extension or renewal at my discretion, yard maintenance included
