Property Description
This home offers timeless charm and character at every turn. Come down the natural walkway surrounded by magnificent plants, flowers and trees. Enter the large, screened front porch perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Step through the vintage Dutch door adorned with custom ironwork and you're immediately greeted by soaring ceilings and exposed wooden beams in the family and dining areas creating a light, airy feel. Historic details are thoughtfully preserved throughout, including crank-operated windows, white oak floors and original wall sconces. The large stone fireplace anchors the main living space, complete with decorative iron convection vents and a hearth crane designed for large pots for open fire cooking, an extraordinary nod to the home's history. A small greenhouse is tucked away off the back of the home for plant enthusiasts.
The generous gardens and stunning woods filled with countless song-birds offer their own unique outdoor living spaces. They invite to plant, take walks, play games, watch nature, listen, rest and meditate. There is a designated fire-pit area and a private well in original well-house that is used mostly for watering. Privacy is further protected by a 15 foot natural area easement on adjacent property. Natural area is noted on survey.
“The Poets Cabin” also boasts a creative pedigree as the Charlotte Repertory Theatre, Charlotte Folk Society, Moving Poets and many others used this home and property for artistic endeavors. For decades, it has been a place for readings, performances, dances, and concerts deeply woven into the Charlotte's arts and creative community - a place of soul and gatherings. Every room, nook and corner presents an opportunity for livable space encouraging connection.
A separate cabin currently used as an artist studio sits on the property, featuring two large rooms, a fully plumbed bathroom, and an additional space that could easily be converted into a kitchen. Heating and air conditioning in the studio are currently only serviced by a portable HVAC and a dehumidifier, but an additional mini-split system is already purchased and can be installed. This approx 1000 sqft cabin offers excellent potential as a guest house or short-term rental opportunity.
The property also offers significant development potential. It s currently zoned N1-D, which could allow sub-division and the development of single family, duet, trio and quadruplex homes on a minimum lot size of 3500sf in accordance with the relevant regulations.
Due to the complexity of the age of this vintage home, this one of a kind property is being sold “As is." Showings preferred on Saturdays between 12-5 due to work-at-home schedules, but we will do our best to accommodate requests when given 24 hours notice.
Come experience “The Poets Cabin” for yourself, an extraordinary opportunity with a truly storied past and an enduring sense of place. This home is ideal for the discerning buyer who values serenity, natural beauty and the ability to entertain with ease in a central location.
