About this home
Seller offering up to $15,000 to be used for either an interest rate buydown or to be used toward closing costs. Solid brick ranch on a half acre, built in 1960 and rebuilt on the inside without losing what made it worth keeping. Light comes through the main level all day, and at 1,950 square feet there's room to spread out across three bedrooms and two full baths. New flooring runs throughout. Fresh paint, recessed lighting, and a kitchen with new appliances ready to go. A fireplace anchors the main living space. Downstairs is where this one separates itself. The walkout basement with its own working fireplace and an exterior door straight out to the backyard. A third full bath was added under permit, but sits in an unfinished section for the next owner to imagine its configuration. Plumbing and electric are already run for laundry and a future bedroom. The next owner gets to decide what it becomes. A second living area, a workshop, a home gym, space for guests, the rough in work is done and the floor plan is yours to draw. This area is not counted in current square footage. Out back, an inground pool sits between two patio areas, with mature trees around the edge of the half acre lot. The detached carport covers two vehicles. Flood zone X, city water and sewer, and a short drive to downtown Morganton, Catawba Meadows Park, and I 40. A 1960 ranch with real space on both levels, a pool, and a basement you can finish your way. Those don't come along often in this part of Burke County.
