Open living area is equipped with a 55-inch smart TV to stream all your favorite shows, as well as a comfortable L-couch, comfortable chair, a collection of board games, and magazines!

This is a normal part of life in a wooded area, and we appreciate your understanding!
-There is a train nearby so on occasion you might hear the choo choo.
-This home is in a vibrant urban neighborhood so you could experience some normal city noise or construction from time to time but normally it's a quiet neighborhood.
-There is a sweet little bird who likes to tap on the outside of the kitchen window occasionally.

About the host
Hosted by Shannon Fuller

We live in Raleigh, NC with our dogs Lucy and Charlie. We relocated to Raleigh in 2013 from California. Our daughters graduated from UNCW and Appalachian State and Shannon graduated from NC State. Go Pack! Shannon has worked in IT over 30 years and Geoff is a Landscape Contractor. We are experienced property managers/hosts with several rental properties in NC.
Durham is a dynamic city located in the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, known for its thriving economy, rich cultural history, and prominent educational institutions. With a population of around 291,000, it is the fourth largest city in the state. Its proximity to Raleigh and Chapel Hill, along with its strong job market and educational institutions, make it an attractive place to live, work, and visit.
We love Durham and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property
I love the West End neighborhood in Durham because it's walk-bike friendly and close to so many great activities and shops. It's close to Duke University, Duke Hospital, DPAC and the Durham Bulls Ballpark to name a few. It's just a chill, fun, place to hang out.
What makes this property unique
We call this home the Metro Vibe Retreat because it's nestled in a quiet cul-de sac but still super close to great amenities. Most of the homes in this neighborhood are older but this updated bungalow was built in 1997 so it's got the modern conveniences with old school charm.
