Location. Location. Location. Some properties are about the house; others are about opportunity. 101 Lindsay Street is one of those special Carrboro properties where the location is truly the story. Sitting on a large lot with exciting potentials, this property offers a rare opportunity to be subdivided to create something special in an established and highly desirable Carrboro location. A true slice of local history also sits right in the backyard: a rustic two story shed that was used as the artisan woodworking shop by Alf, the master craftsman behind Carrboro's legacy Blind Nail Floors. Steeped in character, this former workplace adds a unique layer of town heritage to a structure that could potentially be used for a creative studio or workshop. The property is zoned R-75, so there are many building options not usually associated with a residential lot. It is directly adjacent to commercially zoned properties, adding another layer of potentials for buyers considering future renovation, redevelopment or other possibilities. Enjoy the character, vibrant community and convenience of Carrboro, with walking to local restaurants, Weaver Street Market, boutiques at Carr Mill Mall and the Farmers Market. For the buyer with a vision, 101 Lindsay presents a chance to reimagine and make the property your own.
