Get your checkbooks ready, Charlotteans, because one the Queen City’s latest listings is sure to get multiple offers before the end of the day.
At just over half a million, the 1,108 square foot home built in 1905 at 1301 N. Caldwell St was just listed for sale.
In Optimist Park, this little charmer (emphasis on the “little”) is nestled right where the action is – or at least, where the action would be if you could afford to actually go out and do anything after shelling out $530,000 for this place.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “That’s not even that bad! It’s got three bedrooms and two baths!” To that, I say, bless your wide-eyed optimism. Because let’s be honest, those bedrooms are more like glorified closets, and the bathrooms? Well, let’s just say they’re perfect for practicing your contortionist skills while trying to brush your teeth.
But hey, who needs space when you have charm, right? This 1905 gem boasts all the original “character” you could ever want – from the creaky floorboards that sing you lullabies at night to the peeling wallpaper that adds a touch of “rustic elegance” to your every sneeze. And let’s not forget the shared backyard, the perfect place to bond with your neighbors over a friendly game of “Can you hear me over the sound of the garbage truck?”
Of course, the real pièce de résistance is the price tag. For a cool half a million, you can snag this slice of Charlotte history and experience the joy of owning a home that comes with a built-in time machine (because let’s face it, that’s the only way you’ll be able to afford anything else in this city).
So, there you have it, folks. 1301 N. Caldwell St.: a testament to Charlotte’s booming housing market and a gentle reminder that sometimes, the American dream comes in bite-sized packages. Just don’t forget to pack your sense of humor (and maybe a tent for the backyard), because you’ll need them both.
P.S. Don’t even get me started on the annual property taxes. Let’s just say, you’ll be needing a side hustle selling lemonade to cover those.
Happy house hunting, Charlotte!
