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.

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.

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.
