Set against the scenic backdrop of the Blue Ridge foothills, 931 Emerald Place SW in Lenoir, North Carolina presents a rare opportunity for the buyer or investor with a vision. Situated on a generous 0.58-acre lot in an established neighborhood, this three-bedroom, two-bath property offers a solid foundation, a flexible layout, and outstanding potential for transformation. While the home will require updates and installation of a heating and cooling system before occupancy, it provides the perfect canvas to reimagine and create lasting value. The main level spans roughly 1,121 square feet and features three bedrooms and two full baths arranged in a practical layout that lends itself easily to modernization. The kitchen and dining spaces connect naturally, while the living area receives ample natural light and offers an inviting setting ready for renewal. Each room provides generous dimensions, allowing future owners to refresh finishes and fixtures without altering the home’s structure. Below the main level, a full basement adds approximately 508 square feet of additional potential. With good ceiling height and direct access to the backyard, this level can be transformed into a workshop, studio, recreational area, or expanded living quarters. The basement’s versatility is one of the property’s most appealing features—ideal for those who see potential in every square foot. A two-car garage totaling nearly 600 square feet adds both convenience and function, providing space for vehicles, tools, or equipment. The 0.58-acre lot surrounding the home is another highlight, offering room for outdoor living, gardening, or landscape design. Whether you envision a private retreat, outdoor entertainment space, or future additions, the land offers countless possibilities. The location provides easy access to downtown Lenoir, with shopping, dining, schools, and parks just minutes away. The property also connects quickly to major routes leading to Hickory, Morganton, and Boone, making it a convenient option for regional commuters or those seeking a foothills retreat with proximity to larger markets. For investors, 931 Emerald Place SW represents a strong value-add opportunity in a growing market. The home’s size, lot, and layout align well with current buyer demand for affordable single-family homes with space for customization. For renovators or those experienced in improvement projects, this property provides the structure and setting to realize a vision—one that reflects modern taste and practical design. Every improvement made here has the potential to enhance both comfort and long-term value. The absence of a heating and air system allows for personalized installation, and the unfinished basement and large lot invite creativity in how the home evolves over time. This flexibility—combined with a desirable location and solid construction—makes the property stand out among today’s limited inventory of true renovation opportunities. In a market where affordable properties with potential are increasingly hard to find, 931 Emerald Place SW offers exactly that: a chance to invest, improve, and create. With its manageable size, full basement, two-car garage, and generous lot, this Lenoir home combines everyday practicality with genuine opportunity. Bring your plans, imagination, and vision—and discover the possibilities waiting at 931 Emerald Place SW in the heart of Caldwell County.
