Renovated 1923 Bungalow in Durham Seeking a Thoughtful Tenant
Looking for a kind and responsible renter to care for my home in Durham a rare 1923 bungalow full of character and warmth. This isn't just a rental; it's a place I've poured love into over the years, and I'm hoping to find someone who will treat it with the same care someone who sees the value in being a good steward of a home and a respectful neighbor.
The house is 3BR/2BA with a bonus room (ideal for an office or guest space) and sits on a 1/3 acre lot with a fenced backyard. It's been lovingly restored in the last 5 years and features:
A wrap-around porch with a swing great for reading, people-watching, or morning coffee
Original, restored pine floors, tall ceilings, and large sunny windows throughout
New appliances (washer/dryer, dishwasher, HVAC, plumbing, roof etc.) and updated systems
Energy efficient appliances, heating and cooling, and lights throughout the home with smart-home systems to maximize energy efficiency.
A spacious crawlspace for extra storage
Friendly, engaged neighbors who share tools, stories, and snacks
Partially furnished (no beds, but bar stools, dining table, living room couch, and bookshelves)
The neighborhood is one of the best parts of living here. You're a short walk from Redstart Foods, Perfect Lovers, Northgate Park, multiple flower shops, an ice cream shop, dog parks and tennis courts not to mention the Museum of Life & Science and Ellerbe Creek Trail, which connects you all the way to downtown. In summer, there are food trucks, coffee pop-ups, and outdoor concerts just blocks away. It's about a 6-minute drive to downtown Durham or a 45-minute sunny-day walk via the bike path.
Our block is made up of folks from all walks of life who genuinely care about and look out for each other. If you're someone who values being in community and saying hi to your neighbors, you'll feel at home here.
The right tenant for this home:
Is a fully functioning adult with steady income and solid references
Keeps things clean and well cared-for (including the little things like changing air filters on time)
Communicates clearly and kindly, and treats the home with respect making sure to tell me immediately if something needs attention.
Appreciates being part of a close-knit neighborhood
Available August 1, with a 6 month or year-long lease to start and the option to shift to month-to-month after. I am willing to discuss various options with the right candidate. No smoking please. Pet considered on a case-by-case basis with additional deposit.
6 month minimum, month-to-month thereafter.
Owner pays for internet and yard maintenance . Gas, electric, and water are in renters name. Typically all three don't exceed $150 with mindful use.
