About this home

C'mon, admit it: you have always dreamed of living in an A-Frame house. With its pitched ceilings and windows everywhere--almost like living in a treehouse but with all the modern amenities. Well, now is your chance to make that dream come true. This larger than life A-Frame has been renovated top to bottom and is just waiting for YOU. Dream kitchen with plenty of space to cook AND socialize. Two HUGE decks for all the outdoor things. Delightful upstairs loft with Juliet balcony, PLUS a bedroom and bathroom. Don't miss (how could you??) the two-car garage with workshop space, attached carport, and storage shed along the backside of the building. Dreamy, private yard, with fenced area that includes a fire pit! Walk to all things Lakewood--shopping, coffee, restaurants. Quick jaunt to NCCU and Duke. Everything has been updated in this lovely, unique home. It's just waiting for you!
