Land with Home for Sale in Oakboro, North Carolina
222 Carrie Dr, Oakboro, NC 28129
This "Hidden Cottage" is a secret, urban homestead haven where cozy cottage life meets a charming hobby- gardening oasis. This Cottage Proves Small Can Be Beautiful and offers a perfect balance of open space and private rooms. This property offers a serene, "farm-in-the-city" vibe, allowing for a sustainable, slower-paced life with easy access to busy town life. Tucked just behind a screen of mature oak and evergreen trees, this charming, 2-bedroom rustic-chic cottage seems transported from a rural setting. It features a quaint exterior, surrounded by lush, untamed perennials that blend into the surrounding treeline, offering a quiet, shaded view, acting as a natural privacy screen. The backyard is an absolute surprise, with a 24 x 27 x 9 metal building that has 2 large roll up doors(9x8) for easy storage of all your yard equipment and toys, a charming greenhouse that sits in the sunniest corner of the garden area, along with several built-up herb or seasonal vegetable beds, and the rustic shed conversion "coop-with-character" adds to the charm of this homeplace. You'll have your own Urban Paradox with the sounds of hens softly clucking, the scent of lavender, and the sight of a greenhouse; you'll forget this home is just moments away from coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and all the bustling town life that is so close by. Every day, you'll feel miles away from it all, enjoying yourself in your own peaceful sanctuary.
