Remarks:
This beautiful one-level brick home sits gracefully within the Rutherfordton city limits, offering the rare combination of modern updates and preserved original character. From the moment you arrive, the classic brick exterior and inviting setting hint at the warmth and charm found throughout the interior. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed while maintaining the personality that makes older homes so special. The layout feels comfortable and functional, and the craftsmanship of the original construction shines through in subtle details. A standout feature is the expansive heated and cooled attic—an impressive space that already feels like a natural extension of the home. With its size and accessibility, it appears to offer excellent potential for future conversion into additional living area, studio, office, or recreation space. This property also includes a valuable bonus: an extra lot offering endless possibilities. Whether you envision selling it, building another home, adding a workshop, creating outdoor amenities, or exploring any use permitted by zoning, the flexibility adds tremendous appeal and long-term potential. Over the past two years, the home has undergone a series of meaningful updates, including new appliances, flooring, windows and doors, HVAC system, tankless water heater, updated plumbing and wiring, new light fixtures, fresh interior paint, gutters, countertops, and bathroom fixtures. These improvements provide peace of mind while enhancing comfort, efficiency, and everyday livability. A charming brick home with modern upgrades, expansion potential, and an additional lot in such a convenient in-town location is a rare find. This property offers both immediate enjoyment and future opportunity for the next owner.
