Idlewood House is a thoughtfully maintained 1948 home located at 907 W Wendover Ave in Greensboro’s Idlewood neighborhood, offering a rare blend of historic character, modern infrastructure, and flexibility for permitted home-based work. This is a 12-month unfurnished rental, locally owned and directly managed with long-term care in mind.
Designed for people who value quality, longevity, and a well-cared-for home, Idlewood House is well suited for entrepreneurs, creatives, wellness practitioners, and professionals seeking a comfortable place to live with the ability to work from home in compliance with local regulations.
The Home
Idlewood House offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with refinished hardwood and tile floors throughout and no carpet. The layout supports both everyday living and flexible use of space.
A walk-up attic features a custom floor mural by local artist Jesse Moncle and works well as a studio, office, or retreat space. The kitchen was renovated in 2019 and includes a KitchenAid gas cooktop, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Bathrooms were also updated in 2019, maintaining original character while adding modern function.
The home has been steadily improved over time with a focus on durability and comfort rather than cosmetic shortcuts. Major improvements include a new HVAC system installed in 2022, a new roof completed in 2024, and concrete patio and gutter drainage improvements added in 2025. A tankless gas water heater supports efficient daily use.
Home-Based Work and Zoning
The property is zoned RM-5, which allows certain home-based business uses when operated in compliance with City of Greensboro ordinances. The Wendover Avenue location offers visibility while remaining part of an established residential neighborhood.
Tenants are responsible for confirming that their intended use complies with applicable city requirements.
Management and Neighborhood
We live next door and welcome new neighbors, while also respecting privacy and independence. We are not involved in tenants’ day-to-day lives, but we do care deeply about the home and the people who live there. Over the years, we have had consistently positive relationships with tenants and guests, especially with longer-term residents. Each time the home turns over, we make thoughtful improvements so it continues to get better with time.
This is a home that is actively cared for, not passively rented.
Services Included
Rent includes water, trash service, pest control, landscaping, and access to seasonal garden space. Optional professional cleaning is available through Simply Cleaned and Organized at the tenant’s expense.
