Escape to this charming 1946 vintage mini-ranch nestled on approximately 2 beautiful acres in Durham, North Carolina. This spacious, pet-friendly 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home comfortably accommodates 6 guests, with flexible sleeping arrangements for up to 8. Enjoy a unique blend of historic character, peaceful surroundings, and convenient access to Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Park (RTP).

A Home with Character and History

Built in 1946, this home retains the charm and personality of an earlier era. It isn't a modern luxury property, but that's part of its appeal! You'll discover a welcoming vintage atmosphere, generous living spaces, and plenty of room to relax.

With three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and high-speed Wi-Fi, the home provides the essentials for a comfortable stay while preserving its distinctive character.

Comfortable and Flexible Sleeping Arrangements

Our home comfortably accommodates 6 guests in its three bedrooms, with additional sleeping options for larger families or groups of up to 8.

For added flexibility, the home features two convertible futons that unfold into comfortable, nearly full-size sleeping surfaces:

Spacious bedroom: One of the home's exceptionally large bedrooms has enough extra space for a convertible futon without sacrificing comfort.

Separate office space: A second convertible futon offers an additional sleeping option in the office, making it useful for families or groups needing flexible accommodations.

These arrangements allow guests to enjoy extra sleeping flexibility without overcrowding the main living areas.

Two Acres of Outdoor Fun and Relaxation

One of the property's biggest attractions is its generous outdoor space. Unlike typical city rentals, our mini-ranch gives guests room to spread out, enjoy fresh air, and experience a little countryside living without leaving Durham.

Outdoor highlights include:

Approximately 2 acres of outdoor space

A rustic four-stall horse barn adding authentic mini-ranch character

A real wood-burning fire pit with outdoor seating

Plenty of room for lawn games and family activities

Open space to enjoy outdoor relaxation

A convenient pull-through driveway for easy arrival and departure

A peaceful setting for morning coffee, evening conversations, and relaxing under the stars

Imagine spending the day exploring Durham, then returning to unwind around a crackling fire with family and friends.
