Rare find: Two FULL bathrooms in a 2-bedroom under a mile from Duke. This is Unit 5 at 2209 Morehead - a ground-floor apartment with 1,000 square feet and your own private yard. Not a patio, an actual yard where you can grill, garden, or let the dog out.
The layout: 1,000 sq ft with bedrooms that fit actual furniture. Two full bathrooms means no sharing or schedule conflicts. Open living and dining that doesn't feel cramped. Ground floor with no stairs and direct yard access. Private entrance.
Location: 0.9 miles to Duke Hospital (7-minute bike ride). 0.8 miles to Duke Campus. 5 minutes to Ninth Street restaurants. 10 minutes to downtown Durham.
What actually matters: Both bedrooms fit queen beds with room to walk around. Second bathroom means roommates stay friends. Private yard space (not shared with other units). Parking included plus street parking for guests. Quiet street but sidewalks to campus. Washer/dryer in unit (rent ours or bring your own).
Works for: Duke staff who want to bike to work. Roommates who need their own bathrooms. Small families who can't afford Durham house prices. Anyone who wants actual outdoor space.
The numbers: $1,399/month. Available immediately. First month plus security to move in. 12-month lease. Washer/dryer rental available.
This price for 1,000 sq ft with two full baths won't last in this market.
