40 11th St., Belmont, NC 28012

More than meets the eye: this 2-bed, 1-bath home comes with a detached backyard guest suite with kitchenette and full bath, plus a finished attic bonus room with its own mini-split. Use the suite as a home office, creative studio, or guest retreat. Up the spiral staircase, the attic makes a cozy spot for reading, creating, or a quiet afternoon. Solar panels and an oversized shed for kayaks, bikes, tools, and gear round it out. Within walking distance of the Catawba River and about a mile from downtown Belmont, you’re close to restaurants, shops, parks, public boat and kayak launches, and the Belmont Recreation Center. Uptown Charlotte is about 20 minutes away, depending on traffic, and Charlotte Douglas Airport is an easy drive. Small-town character, river access, and room to spread out at 40 11th St.
