Updated 3-Bed Cottage on Large Lakewood/Centerville Lot
This lovingly refreshed 1920s cottage at 112 Oregon St delivers immediate comfort and flexible potential on a rare, oversized 7,840 SF lot in Lakewood/Centerville. At 960 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms and 1.5 baths laid out for efficient day-to-day living. Recent updates include a newer roof, fresh interior paint, new carpeting, and a thoughtfully renovated kitchen with replaced cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The full bath features a new bathtub and vanity; plumbing fixtures throughout have been modernized.
Step inside to efficient rooms that feel tidy and purposeful — the updated kitchen connects easily to the living space and offers streamlined surfaces and modern hardware that are attractive to both buyers and renters. The property's generous backyard creates an immediate outdoor amenity: space for play, gardening, entertaining, or a future addition or accessory structure subject to permitting. The front yard offers partial city views and a pleasant streetscape typical of this established neighborhood.

This home is presented turnkey and will appeal to first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry point close to the city, downsizers who want manageable maintenance, and investors looking for a low-lift rental or light flip.

A factual market snapshot around 112 Oregon St.
Inner Charlotte neighborhoods like Lakewood/Centerville remain sought after for buyers who prioritize proximity to Uptown and walkable neighborhood amenities. As of early 2026 the market has cooled from the peak frenzy years, producing a more balanced environment: median sale prices in nearby pockets typically range from mid-$300Ks to low-$400Ks depending on lot, condition, and modernization. Inventory remains relatively tight in desirable close-in pockets, particularly for turnkey single-family homes on larger lots. At a list price of $250,000 for a refreshed 960 SF home with a 7,840 SF lot, this listing sits below broader area medians and should attract both value-driven owner-occupants and investors. Expect active interest, relatively quick showings, and competitive offers if pricing aligns with final inspections and comps.
Likely single-family residential (common inner-city zoning: R-4 or R-8); buyer should verify with City of Charlotte zoning map.
