Description
This beautifully preserved 1923 historic cottage, in the coveted Carolina Place neighborhood, is an absolute must-see. With its lush landscaping and freshly painted white picket fence, the curb appeal alone is a show-stopper. Before entering, be sure to ring the original doorbell, and be welcomed by original hardwood floors, decorative fireplace, and classic character. Built-in storage and bookcases throughout the home provide plenty of space for organizing, displaying, and decorating. The interior and exterior of the home were just painted, offering a fresh and inviting feel throughout. The home also includes modern convenience with a newly remodeled bathroom, never-used stainless steel fridge & dishwasher, gas stove with natural gas!, new kitchen floors, large farmhouse sink, a mud room with a washer and dryer and a newer roof replaced in 2021! Enjoy two inviting porches; the front is perfect for chatting with neighbors & morning coffee, while the covered back porch overlooks a large backyard with plenty of space for entertaining. The yard is also adorned by a large Carolina coastal work shed for storage, projects, or hobbies!
Surrounded by beautiful landscaping that enhances its Southern charm, this home feels tucked away from the world while still being close to shopping, downtown, the Cargo District, parks, and more. If you are looking for historic character, thoughtful, modern updates, and an unbeatable location, this is the one.
