About this home
Welcome home to 2438 Watts Street, where a comfortable single-story home sits on a generous 1.34-acre lot in Morganton. With 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath across 1,016 square feet, this conventional-style home offers an easy, livable layout that feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. A newer metal roof provides lasting protection and clean curb appeal, while central heat and air keep the interior comfortable year-round. Outside, a covered porch is perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation, and a screened porch gives you a bug-free space to enjoy the outdoors. A detached 20x20 garage with power offers plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, or projects, while outbuildings and an RV pad add even more flexibility. An unfinished basement provides additional space for storage, a future living area, or a workshop. Set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, you’re close to downtown Morganton’s shops, restaurants, and breweries, with convenient access to I-40. Lake James and South Mountains State Park are an easy drive, so outdoor adventures are never far away. With the large lot, covered outdoor spaces, and practical extras like the 20x20 garage, this home delivers a peaceful yet useful setting. Come take a look — we’d love to show you around.
