Available for rent on 8/1/2025 is a completely renovated 5 bedroom/2 bath brick house in the very popular Tuscaloosa-Lakewood neighborhood in downtown Durham. You can walk (less than 2 blocks) to Guglhupf, Foster's Market, Refectory Cafe, and Saltbox Seafood Joint and are less than a 5-minute drive to downtown and Duke University. The home has been completely renovated with nice finishes.
The house has ~2,200 sq feet (1,500 sq feet on the main level and 700 sq feet in the walkout basement). The main floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths (including an en-suite master bath), refinished 3/4 inch solid oak hardwood floors and tiled bath (including bath/shower surround) in the bathrooms. The kitchen has been completely redone with shaker style maple cabinets, granite countertops (granite is also installed in the master bathroom and additional bathroom). The kitchen features stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave). The bathrooms have refinished tubs and newer toilets, vanities, and hardware. The entire house was recently painted and has updated light fixtures and doors throughout. Crown moulding has also been installed throughout and all bedrooms are large.
The walkout basement has lots of windows/light and features a large rec room/family room and 2 additional bedrooms that could easily be used as offices/studio spaces/flex rooms. Pergo flooring is installed throughout the basement. There is also a large utility room that has washer/dryer hookups and significant built-in storage. There is a large, private concrete patio off of the basement great for for entertaining with a fenced backyard. There is also a large exterior storage room off the back of the house that can easily store multiple bikes, lawn equipment, etc.
The windows, HVAC units, and water heater are only a few years old which helps keep utility bills low (the house is all electric). A large driveway easily accommodates 3+ cars. A nice flat front yard and back yard allows for multiple uses. Please contact me if you want to schedule a viewing.
Minimum lease duration of 12 months. Pets are allowed depending on the animal size/breed (with additional pet deposit to apply). Security deposit is the same as 1 month of rent ($2,995). Please call or email if you have any questions or want to schedule a showing.
