About this home

Welcome home to 188 Ferry Rd! Built with lasting brick and thoughtfully cared for, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Forest City home offers comfort and peace of mind in equal measure. A new roof and HVAC were installed in 2019. The wood floors have been freshly refinished, and a fireplace adds a touch of character to the living space. Out back, newer fencing encloses a spacious backyard, ready for gardening, pets, cookouts, or simply relaxing on a Carolina evening. The former carport now sits inside the fenced yard, which makes it a covered outdoor space for grilling, a shaded sitting area, or storage. It’s a great fit whether you’re buying your first home, looking to downsize, or want something simple and well cared for. Conveniently located near Forest City shopping, dining, and the Thermal Belt Rail Trail. Come see it before it’s gone!
