Welcome to this beautifully updated 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom gem nestled in the sought-after neighborhood of Carolina Place. Boasting over 1,200 square feet of living space, this home effortlessly combines the timeless charm of the 1920s with thoughtful renovations, creating a harmonious blend of character and convenience.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warmth of original hardwood flooring in the main living spaces and bedrooms, complemented by an abundance of windows.
With stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and subway tile, the kitchen offers modern day convenience. These updates are juxtaposed by a vintage built-in china hutch, adding a one-of-a kind piece that will wow guests. The sink is centered under a window, making dish duty feel more like a reward. This natural light, combined with that of the large dining room windows, provides ample sun for plant enthusiasts, artists, and those in need of a little vitamin D. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or whipping up a quick meal, these spaces exude warmth and coziness.
Both bathrooms have modern vanities and tasteful tiled showers for a spa-like feel. This home also has a dedicated laundry room with shelving, not just a closet-a rare find for a home from this decade!
Outside, you'll find a covered porch where you can unwind with a good book while listening to the soothing sound of summer rain. The quaint backyard is perfect for hosting summer cookouts and gatherings, enclosed by a wooden privacy fence for added seclusion.
Situated within walking distance to shopping and dining in the vibrant Cargo District, this home offers the ultimate in convenience. Stroll down for morning coffee or walk home after an evening out at the brewery with friends.
Major updates including plumbing, electrical, and roof were completed in 2022, making this home truly the best of both vintage and modern worlds.
