Where to begin... you know that feeling when a house just has ''that vibe''? Well, THAT is 202 High Street—Classically Carrboro! Built in 1949, it has history, character, and just the right amount of modern updates, providing the best of all worlds. Before we wax poetic about the location, however, we should mention that some owner long ago had the wisdom and foresight to separate the spaces and create an ATTACHED STUDIO. So, the square footage includes the MAIN House + ATTACHED Studio—a great space for an in-law suite, guests, a home office, or, as these folks have done, an Airbnb for INCOME!

Less than a mile from the heart of downtown Carrboro—THE place to be these days—it's a great walk or a quick bike ride away. There, you can explore Carrboro's ''locally grown, nationally known'' Farmer's Market, stock up at the beloved Weaver Street Market, and shop local boutiques until your heart's content. When it's time to unwind, grab a craft cocktail at Atlas or the B-Side, savor locally sourced lunch at Breakaway Café, indulge in wood-fired pizza at Napoli, or experience culinary delights and curated wine selections at Glass Half Full.

But 202 is more than just location. It's a home with a cottage feel that blends the old with the new. Original, refinished hardwoods and a brick hearth surrounding the fireplace provide the foundation and focal points upon which all else rests. The entire interior, including the kitchen cabinets, has a fresh coat of paint, leaving everything feeling crisp and clean. Lighting upgrades throughout the home—like a stylish pendant over the dining table and fresh fixtures in the kitchen—add just the right touch of style. Starting in 2020, new appliances made their debut: a gas range (2020), a washer and dryer (2023), and refrigerator (2024). As the kids say, the first-floor bath got a full-on glow-up in 2021, featuring a sleek tile shower, fresh fixtures, a new sink, toilet, lighting, and tile floors. The Owner's Suite, tucked upstairs, now shines with rich hardwood floors (2022) and a brand-new skylight that floods the space with natural light.
Outside, the transformation continues with an exterior repaint from an outdated blue to a sharp, clean white (2023), the addition of a spacious back deck (2021) that flows into a new patio (2022), and a front yard firepit area (2022), perfect for cozy nights under the stars.
Back to that studio... which received its own renovation, leveling it up from good to fabulous. The kitchen and living space now flow effortlessly after removing the faux wall, allowing light into the kitchen and creating a connection between the spaces. Fresh paint, new lighting, and the barn door add style and function. This offers so many opportunities: guest overflow, an in-law suite, a home office, or the chance to have an income-generating asset.
This classic is dialed in, stylish, and ready for you to call it home!
