About this home

Beautiful, level .645 acre parcel at the corner of Potts Street & Catawba Avenue in Davidson! Currently has a home built in 1910 with 2452 heated square feet. One option would be to renovate the home and subdivide the rear of parcel into 2 buildable lots. Regardless, at this price, the property's main value is in the land for a Minor Exempt Subdivision (up to 3 lots on a parcel less than 2 acres). The property is located in the Village Infill Zoning Area & Orange Overlay District. It has 300' of road footage on Catawba Avenue and 100' of road frontage on Potts Street. Appears to set up nicely for three lots with 100' frontage each and rear depth of 100' - roughly .215 acres each. One block from South Main Street in Davidson. Great opportunity for a custom builder or an investor in Davidson.
