About this home

MOTIVATED SELLER!!! Classic 1930s cottage charm meets thoughtful, extensive renovation! This inviting 1,590-square-foot home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, incredible curb appeal, and a full acre in a quiet Elkin neighborhood. The updates here go well beyond what you can see. Renovations started from the ground up, including opening floors for crawlspace access, pest treatment, installation of a vapor barrier, replacement of damaged wood, and new subflooring throughout the main floor. From there came new windows, luxury vinyl flooring, carpeting, light fixtures, fresh paint, kitchen and bath countertops and sink fixtures, plus new kitchen appliances. A newer roof, installed in 2023, rounds out an extensive list of improvements, all while preserving the character that makes this 1930s cottage special. AGENTS - PLEASE READ AGENT NOTES FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE FLOORS. PHOTOS WITH FURNISHINGS ARE AI GENERATED FOR LAYOUT OPTIONS.
