What's special
**Please submit final and best offers by 6:00pm Wednesday, June 25. **A rare opportunity to own a duplex in the historic Carolina Place neighborhood! This beautiful, light filled home was built in 1912 and was ahead of its' time with the attached guest house, complete with its own kitchen, laundry and bathroom. In the main house you will find 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with original heart pine flooring, tall ceilings and the original windows and trim still remaining. The exterior and interior have both just been repainted and new concrete walkways were just installed. Enjoy sitting on the front porch and meeting neighbors as they go by on their way to Wallace Park.
The guest unit is quite spacious and also retains a lot of historic charm with a large living room and bedroom along with a smaller office/den/nursery, attached to the main bedroom. This space also has a small front porch, private screened porch and partially fenced in yard. This home offers many options for its' new owner; live in the main house or guest portion and rent the other, or rent both units, or move your extended family in with you! Both units have a successful rental history when not owner occupied.
This location is highly sought after with its close proximity to the Cargo District, Soda Pop District and our historic riverfront downtown, which are all easily accessed by foot, bike or vehicle. This neighborhood is also less than 9 miles to Wrightsville Beach, 15 miles to Carolina Beach and 4 miles to the airport.
Carolina Place is ready to welcome its' newest neighbor! Please reach out to listing agent for insight on rentals in the area.
