We moved to Charlotte in 2002, purchasing this adorable cottage near Freedom Park. We LOVED the street, great neighbors, so close to Dilworth, local parks, excellent schools, etc. We did quite a bit of renovation to the house (expanded a 1960's upstairs addition, the kitchen, the baths, finished the basement, backyard landscaping, etc), although the current owners have finished a very thorough redo in the past year and I can't wait to see what they've done!
This is one renovation that I wished we had done more extensively. The downside to trying to live in it while renovating. I got my GC license AFTER doing this house.

AFTER - although not a good angle for that dormer. I had another GC do that - and was not impressed. Thankfully the new owners redid it completely. |

The original dining room, I don't have a great after photo here - but this wall paper was HORRIBLE. |
