Carrboro Condo Living, Done Right. Okay, let's talk about this one. This little gem is tucked into a seriously great Carrboro location — you're close to downtown, close to one of the best farmer's markets around, close to parks, close to the good coffee, close to the good everything (I'll let you discover the rest). Step inside and into beautiful natural light and fabulous features - great windows, engineered hardwood floors throughout, and a gas fireplace for when it's finally sweater weather. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, beautiful cabinets, and a reverse osmosis filtration system. A new roof in 2022, HVAC system in 2025, and gutters in 2026 mean fewer items on your worry list. Step out back and you've got your own private patio and yard — your little slice of "just me" space. But here's the fun part: you also get shared access to a huge common area behind the building, with a garden space, green space, a clothesline, and a storage building. Basically, it's a bonus yard you don't have to mow by yourself. Want to see it in person? Let's make it happen.

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.
