This classic Carolina Place bungalow has the perfect balance of charm and character of an historic home with some modern touches in a great location on a corner lot with alley access. The welcoming screened porch leads you into the living room with an old fireplace. Original solid wood flooring runs throughout the living room into the dining area, hallway and bedrooms. The modern kitchen features granite counter tops, pendant lights, double under mount sink, tile back splash and slow close drawers in the updated cabinets. The older upper cabinets help keep the classic charm along with other traditional features like the picture molding in the two bedrooms and honey-comb tile and cast-iron tub in the hall bathroom. The modern master bathroom is a great added touch with an enclosed tiled shower, tile flooring and room for a washer/dryer. The tankless water heater is supplied by natural gas and previous owners installed a new heat pump and furnace in 2016 and a new roof in 2019. The best and most surprising feature of 2001 Metts might just be the incredible peaceful back yard. Professionally laid brick pavers provide the most relaxing area around the old oak tree and is the perfect place for your outdoor gatherings around the built-in fire pit. Storage isn't an issue either with the addition of two storage buildings accessible from the double gate from the alley in the back.
