About This Property

Approaching from the street, you'll be instantly captivated by this enchanting brick residence straight out of a storybook. The home beckons you to explore every detail, featuring three bedrooms within the main house and an additional two nestled in the delightful carriage house. On the main floor of the carriage house, a spacious living area with exposed beams welcomes you, while upstairs offers two bedrooms and a bathroom, providing endless opportunities for use. Whether you envision turning it into a lucrative VRBO, a home studio, a teen hangout, or a cozy in-law suite, the possibilities abound. The carriage house adds 1,185 square feet to the uniquely designed 2,300 square feet of the main dwelling, resulting in nearly 3,500 square feet of total living space. This exceptional property is a rare gem in the vibrant and highly sought-after Five Points neighborhood. Properties like this, especially those featuring a detached two-car garage, are hard to come by in the 27608 area code. Blending charming character with modern conveniences, the home boasts soaring ceilings and hardwood floors that enhance its appeal. A collection of distinctive windows, adorned with plantation shutters, fills the interior with natural light and warmth. French doors lead out to a quaint Charleston-style courtyard, ideal for casual grilling or relaxing with drinks and coffee on a private patio. An expansive walk-up attic completes the home, offering generous additional storage options.
