Location. Location. Location. Some properties are about the house; others are about opportunity. 101 Lindsay Street is one of those special Carrboro properties where the location is truly the story. Sitting on a large lot with exciting potentials, this property offers a rare opportunity to be subdivided to create something special in an established and highly desirable Carrboro location.
