Welcome to Historic Pearl Mill Flats! This bright and inviting one-bedroom, one-bath condo offers effortless living in the heart of Durham. With a fully-equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and comfortable bedroom, it's the perfect ''just enough'' space. The unit is offered furnished (with a few exceptions), so you can move right in and start enjoying life. It's also an ideal investment-zoned for short- or long-term rentals for up to two guests. Looking to downsize or set up a home base between travels? Pearl Mill Flats is tailor-made for a lock-and-leave lifestyle. Community is at the core here. Enjoy a saltwater pool, picnic spots, and a wood-burning chiminea for those crisp Carolina evenings. The neighbors are friendly, parking is plentiful, and the whole property carries that relaxed Durham charm. This unit sits on the quiet east side of the complex, perched on the second floor with a view of the pool. It's steps from the coin-operated laundry room and easily accessed by elevator. Secure key-fob gates and a private combo lock make coming and going simple. And then there's the unbeatable location. Walk to Duke's East Campus, grab coffee at Cocoa Cinnamon, meet friends at Geer Street Garden, unwind at the new Sauna House, and enjoy everything downtown Durham has to offer. Pets are welcome, too-because adventures are better with your four-legged companion. If you're searching for a turnkey condo that blends comfort, convenience, and community, Pearl Mill Flats is ready to welcome you home.
