Home Details
This historically distinctive 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cottage features large sun-filled rooms and beautiful hardwood pine flooring throughout. Located in Historic Carolina Heights, this home was fully renovated in 2023, along with a new HVAC in 2025 and a tankless gas hot water heater in 2026. There's little a new owner will have to do, other than enjoy living here! The Home is full of nostalgia and yet, thoughtfully updated for today's modern living. Its celebrated gardens and azaleas have even appeared on Azalea Festival home tours! The enclosed brick walled courtyard out back is an entertainer's delight! The courtyard also leads to a greenhouse and a detached one car garage with alley access. The garage would make an incredible home office...or simply another parking space along with a second-floor storage loft! This historic charmer in beautiful Historic Carolina Heights is exactly what you've been looking for. A home with character, comfort and walkability to restaurants and parks. This is a perfect full-time residence, weekend retreat or even an Airbnb with more than ample parking! You owe it to yourself to come see this charming cottage today! I promise...You won't leave disappointed!
