About This Property

When history and charming architecture matter, nix the cold “cookie cutter” construction for the solid soul of this 1930 brick cottage that new subdivisions simply can’t match. The interior features a gracious sunlight filled living room, a formal dining room perfect for gatherings and a butler’s pantry with custom built banquette seating for quick bites. A dedicated home office makes working from home both comfortable and private. On the main level, an updated hall bathroom showcases tile flooring and a spacious enclosed shower, while the upstairs primary bedroom with en-suite bath feels like a private spa with its tiled shower and elegant slipper tub accented by chrome hardware. Outdoor living is equally enchanting. Relax on the screened porch or retreat to the backyard oasis, where a tranquil water feature and an outdoor fireplace create the ideal backdrop for evenings under the stars. Adding remarkable flexibility, a guest house / accessory dwelling unit (ADU) sits at the rear of the property—perfect for guests, studio for creative pursuits, or private work space. The guest house includes efficient mini-split heating and cooling, a compact living area, a dedicated kitchen space with sink and lower cabinetry, and a full bathroom with shower. Upstairs, a loft-style sleeping area is perfect for futons or twin beds offering a unique retreat. (note: no closets in the guest house). With its historic setting, distinctive details, and rare bonus living space, this cottage presents a truly special opportunity to own a piece of Albemarle history on one of its most beloved streets. Even better, there is no HOA or Architectural Board of Review established for the Pee Dee Avenue Historic District.
