First time on the market in over 25 years the iconic "Bootlegger" house. Built in 1894 this historic storybook house is an Eastlake Victorian meticulously maintained and updated by the current owners.

The house and gardens have been on the Mint Museum, Winghaven, Secret Gardens and the Fourth Ward Christmas tours. It was also featured on the cover of "Our State" Magazine and the Charlotte Convention and Visitors guide. It is located on a corner lot with unobstructed views of the city skyline and within an easy walk to everything uptown has to offer.
