Efficiency is located on a half-acre wooded lot in Chapel Hill's Booker Creek neighborhood, just adjacent Lake Forest. This is a quiet Chapel Hill Residential neighborhood with well-established properties and homes. A city walking trail just up the street creates a scenic 10-minute walk to Eastgate and Plaza Shopping Centers, with Starbucks, Brueggers Bagels, Whole Foods, Rite Aide, and numerous other shops and restaurants. It is 2 minutes by car from East Franklin Street (where it becomes the Durham/Chapel Hill Boulevard) which puts it within 5 minutes drive of UNC, and a 15 minute drive from Downtown Durham and Duke University. It is likewise a 5-minute drive to I-40 and therefore a 20 minute drive to RDU Airport. Two different bus lines pass within a block of our address, but buses do not pass directly by.
Two miles from UNC, 5 miles from Duke, easy access to Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd, and I-40. 15 miles from RDU International Airport. This is our second Airbnb listing on this same property (if you have a larger party and might want both units or are interested in our larger rental with full kitchen and washer/dryer, please inquire). This 2nd rental was built specifically for use as a short-term rental. It has no line-of-sight view from the main house, and has a private entrance. Our intent was to create a luxury space to rent for guests with appreciation for such. The result is a living space so beautiful that we hate to not use it for ourselves! Space is ideal for 1 couple (2 people) in the king-sized bed. The sofa in the TV viewing room is a futon-bed that folds out and is technically a "full" sized mattress (smaller than a queen) which might accommodate one adult, one adult couple, or up to two kids who can share a bed.
Guests are limited to one parking pace in our driveway and must park at the left side of the driveway near start of private walk to the BnB's private entrance. Kitchenette has under-counter fridge, microwave, toaster oven, sink and Keurig coffee maker (no oven or stove-top).
