Why they chose this property

Downtown Durham is a diverse community that is constantly growing and reinventing itself as more and more people call this region home. Durham is really booming right now with lots of growth leading to a great mix of historic and modern. People from all walks of life and experiences are living and working together and this is what makes Bull City such a special place to live and visit. Centrally located, this elegant, modern three bedroom getaway is just 1.6 miles from Duke University and Duke Hospital and 4 miles from Durham downtown. With a bike path and pedestrian walkway coming soon in 2024, this house will be an easy 5min bike to both. We hope you enjoy this location and house as much as we do!
