Classic brick ranch with finished basement. This home has lovingly housed multiple generations in beautiful setting backing right up to Ribbon Walk Nature Preserve. Many of the original finishes remain ( they do NOT build them like this anymore), ready for your thoughtful updates to update to today's tastes and function. Large den and living room connect to kitchen with potential to open up and add kitchen island. Walk-out Basement has flexible space for independent, separate living - includes kitchen and full bathroom as well as fireplace. No record of permits available. Backing up to the woods of a nature preserve is a priceless aspect with the feel of a mountain retreat. Allen Hills is a hidden gem with easy access to Uptown and University, NODA/Plaza Midwood ( all within 5 miles), Camp North End as well as Mountain Island Lake and Lake Norman.
