About this home
A one-level brick ranch on a 0.86-acre level lot in Royal Oaks, with no HOA and many of the big-ticket updates already taken care of. The main floor offers 2,114 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a living room with a fireplace ready for gas logs, a dining room, a breakfast area, and a kitchen with a breakfast bar and granite-topped island. Within the last two years, the owners have replaced the HVAC and every appliance, and added a Navien tankless water heater with a recirculating system, whole-house water filtration, new flooring and carpet, updated lighting, new blinds, and new exterior doors. The home is now on natural gas, with a Generac panel and gas connection in place for a generator. Out back, the rebuilt Trex deck and screened porch look over a fenced yard and a covered front porch leaves room for a couple of rocking chairs. Downstairs, a 1,900-square-foot unfinished daylight basement with walk-out access and its own electrical sub-panel is ready to become extra living space, a workshop, or storage. A two-car attached garage and concrete driveway complete the picture. Just a short drive to downtown Forest City, known for its holiday light displays, about 30 minutes to Tryon International Equestrian Center, and within easy reach of the Asheville, Greenville-Spartanburg, and Charlotte airports.
