This cute cottage is hard to resist! The kitchen and bath have been updated but the charming details of this 1938 home were kept intact. Beautiful hardwood floors, relaxing screened back porch, fenced yard, large kitchen with island and space for dining table. Permanent stairs to attic could be finished for additional square footage for an automatic increase in investment. Large unfinished basement is great storage and does have a garage door for entry off shared driveway plus a small carport. This location is an up and coming neighborhood which allows you to get in on the ground floor. Armstrong part is located behind this home with pickleball, and the beginning of the Greenway. It is also near to HPU, children's museum, historic neighborhoods, and everything fabulous downtown! Extra bonus...this home qualifies for City of High Point Core City Homebuyer Incentive Program- $7500 buyer incentive.
Prepare to be amazed by the beautiful updates that grace this 2br/1ba home, echoing the timeless character of its 1938 roots. The stylish kitchen, adorned with smoky blue cabinets, features a large butcher block island, a gas range complemented by a stainless steel vent hood, and appliances that will remain for the new homeowners. Step out onto the stunning screened-in porch with a vaulted ceiling, providing a perfect retreat overlooking the fenced backyard. With over 1500 sq. ft., this home offers ample storage in the walk-up attic and unfinished basement. Nearby amenities include HPU, Armstrong Park & High Point Greenway, The Nido & Mariana Qubein Children's Museum, High Point Public Library, and the Farmer's Market (in season).
