Residential neighborhood zoned general business

Imagine plein air painting on the front porch of this Victorian gem! 310 North James Street in Historic Goldsboro, North Carolina is located within walking distance of the downtown Arts Council, Farmers' Market, Community Gardens, Bed & Breakfast, Theatre, Museum, unique shops and restaurants with open air dining.

It has the original tin roof, plaster ceilings/walls, wood trim, wood floors, German siding, and 6 original mantles. There is space UPSTAIRS for private bedrooms for 4 artists (entrepreneurs) + 1 studio (work shop/office) + 2 baths. DOWNSTAIRS space for 3 studios (work shops/offices) + gallery/sales space + 2 baths + communal kitchen.

In the past year several James Street homes in the 2 block area off Ash street (a main entry to downtown Goldsboro) have begun restoration. It is the latest "hot spot" in Goldsboro for restoration
activity. Only 1 block from Center Street, the main boulevard downtown, the area is ideal for living as well as business usage. The city recently upgraded the infra-structure and street in the first phase of Center Street improvement. The Ash Street circle and first block of Center have been completed with wider sidewalks, improved parking, and bike trails.
