About this home

Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with care, this downtown Morganton home is the true definition of move-in ready. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers comfortable living all on the main level—yes, that includes laundry. Thoughtfully remodeled with all-new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, added insulation, a water filtration system, and a whole-house fan, the home is designed for year-round comfort and efficiency. The main level features a bright, open kitchen with custom finishes and a spacious island that flows seamlessly into the living area—perfect for entertaining. Offering both convenience and charm, the wine and coffee bar provides additional prep space and opens to the screened-in porch, creating a cozy year-round spot to relax outdoors. Down the hall, the primary ensuite features a walk-in jetted tub, while two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the main level. The full unfinished basement offers future potential, generous storage and is accessible by both walk-out and walk-up entrances—ideal for a studio, home gym, workshop, or simply additional space. The front flower bed is filled with native, low-maintenance plants that support local pollinators. All the hard work is done, and this home is ready for its next chapter!
