A 1920 Corner-Lot Charmer with the Primary Suite on the Main

Some houses make you walk the whole floor plan before they tell you anything. This one has
been saying hello at the curb since 1920: steep gray gable, tall white-painted brick chimney, a
black front door under an arched hood, all on a 0.17-acre corner lot shaded by mature trees.

Light comes in through three front windows and lands on the plank floor. Somebody's already
got the coffee going in the kitchen, where the white cabinets and subway tile catch the light and
the two pendants over the peninsula are still switched on from the night before.

You cross the dining area and pass the frosted-glass pantry door. In the family room the
fireplace is quiet against its shiplap wall, waiting for the first cold evening.

You didn't climb any stairs to get here. The primary bedroom is on the main floor: a vaulted
ceiling over your head, a walk-in closet longer than some hallways, and a bath with two sinks
and a walk-in shower behind frameless glass.

Upstairs, the house has room to breathe. Two bedrooms and a full bath share the second floor,
with an open sitting spot at the top of the stairs. Climb once more and the ceiling slopes down
around a bedroom that has its own bath and walk-in closet. It's a room somebody will
call their favorite.

601 Carolina Avenue, Gastonia. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, 2,671 measured square
feet, and a front door that has been welcoming people home for more than a century.
