Location, character, and community-this classic brick ranch boasts a contemporary remodel honoring the original elements that made this vintage home so appealing in the first place. Having changed hands only once, this is your opportunity to put down roots near thriving downtown Carrboro. Weaver Street Market, Cat's Cradle, and dozens of businesses, venues, restaurants, and shops are within a 1/2 mile radius. Updates galore include: original hardwood floors refinished for the first time (2026), smoothed & painted ceilings (2026), fresh interior paint (2026), industrial kitchen with newer dishwasher and butcher block counters, soapstone bathroom vanity and custom-painted tub, newer windows and GFCI outlet receptacles. A new water heater (2026), encapsulated crawl space (2023), and whole-house Halo water filter (2022) add peace of mind. Outside, beyond the welcoming front porch, bird- and butterfly-friendly habitat has been planted and established along the western and southern boundaries. Two storage buildings provide plenty of room for bikes, tools, outdoor gear, and a riding mower. Sunny southern exposure in the backyard. Baldwin Park and Community Garden is just around the corner and the East Main St & Lloyd St bus stop is an easy 8 minute walk with access to multiple bus routes. For those looking for future potential, the buildable lot next door is also available (MLS #10193300).
