Rocking-chair front porch, cottage charm and curb appeal that makes you slow down for a second—this is the kind of house that just feels like home. Tucked into a slight bend on a quiet street in Commonwealth Park, this charming cottage has been well loved for the past 40 years and is ready for its next chapter.
Inside, the split floor plan gives everyone room to spread out—and some seriously good flexibility. One side of the home feels almost like its own little wing, with a large primary suite featuring a vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet and ensuite bath, plus a fabulous flex space with built-in shelving and soaring ceiling. There's another walk-in closet here, too, along with an oversized walk-in pantry that's already built out for serious storage and could potentially evolve into a mini kitchen or scullery-style space. Multigenerational living, older kids, long-term guests, work-from-home space or an Airbnb-style setup—there are lots of possibilities.
And storage is one thing this cottage does surprisingly well. Large closets, multiple walk-ins and a roomy laundry room with its own closet mean there's a place for all the stuff you don't necessarily want to see!
The rest of the house is full of the character you hope to find in a cottage. The front living room makes the perfect cozy snug with its vintage fireplace, while the adorable dining room still has its original built-in china cabinet. The kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash and stainless appliances, and the vaulted great room at the back of the house gives you yet another place to gather, with French doors opening to the deck and backyard.
Outside, bring your green thumb, create the garden you've always wanted, add a firepit and gathering spaces—or start dreaming about a pool.
And then there's the location: minutes from Uptown and Plaza Midwood, tucked into wonderful Commonwealth Park, with an easy commute to UNCC. Rock on the front porch, spread out inside, play in the backyard and make this sweet, quirky cottage your own. Don't miss the neighborhood hangout Frank's where all the cool kids go!
