Duke Tower was constructed from antique brick which were salvaged from a 1930's cotton mill (Pearl Mill) which stood on the same spot. It is a very unique and historic property which still has the old mill tower and smoke stack preserved on the property,
Pearl Mill Flats is one of the stops on the GoDurham city bus route. There are also two other stops within easy walking distance (2-3 minutes) of the complex.
There is a very comfortable queen sofa bed with an upgraded foam mattress. Also a very comfortable recliner. The pool, decking and landscaping around it were renovated in the summer of 2017. Max of two dogs. They must be house broken, up to date on vaccines and flea control and well behaved (minimal barking). Pool hours are dawn to dusk. Pool opens 5/2/26.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea Douglass
I am a pharmacist at Duke Hospital who stumbled into the world of property management and real estate. It all began when I started renting out my personal properties as short-term rentals. I quickly fell in love with managing properties and interacting with guests, which led me to obtain my real estate license. As my passion for this field grew, I expanded my services to manage other people's properties as well. The business became so busy that I had to reduce my hours at Duke Hospital to dedicate more time to it. I am deeply passionate about traveling and exploring different properties and areas, which fuels my love for this profession even more. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service to both property owners and guests, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved.
