Rare LAKE-VIEW Townhome for Lease in a Quiet, Owner-Occupied Durham Community Morning coffee on the patio with the lake in front of you. Evenings by the pool. A ten-minute drive to Duke, Southpoint, or RTP. This is the kind of rental that rarely comes up, and it won't last long. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Lochside, 3565 Sugar Tree Place is a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome with something most rentals in this area simply can't offer: a true lake view right from your back patio. Lochside is a primarily owner-occupied community, which means well-kept homes, quiet streets, and neighbors who care about where they live. Leasing opportunities here are uncommon. Inside, the home is move-in ready with fresh paint and updates throughout. The updated kitchen opens to the living room, making it easy to cook, unwind, and host in one connected space. Both bedrooms are spacious and filled with natural light, and each has its own ensuite bathroom. It's a layout that works beautifully for roommates, a home office with a private guest suite, or anyone who simply values extra privacy. A half bath on the main level keeps guests out of your private spaces. A brand-new roof and HVAC system (2025) mean comfort and peace of mind all year. Life here feels like a retreat without giving up convenience. Spend summer afternoons at the community pool, enjoy neighborhood events at the clubhouse, and end the day on your patio watching the light settle over the water. The HOA handles exterior maintenance and lawn care, so your weekends stay yours. Two assigned parking spaces plus guest parking make coming and going effortless. The location is hard to beat: minutes to Duke University, downtown Durham, The Streets at Southpoint, Research Triangle Park, and every major highway in the Triangle. This home is owned and operated by a private landlord, not a large management company. You'll be renting from an owner who has taken genuine care of this home and wants a tenant who will enjoy it just as much. 12-month minimum lease. Schedule your private showing today.
