    What's special

    Peace of mind meets modern style in this stunningly updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home. Owned and meticulously renovated by a licensed professional (Top Tier Electrical Solutions), no detail has been overlooked. The electrical system has been completely overhauled--meaning absolutely every switch, outlet, and stylish new fixture has been updated. Step inside to a fully transformed interior featuring a beautifully remodeled kitchen. Every single wall throughout the house has been expertly patched and finished with a fresh, professional paint palette. You can move in with total confidence knowing the plumbing has been fully updated, the roof is brand new (2026), and both the HVAC system and LVP flooring are just two years old. Relax in the climate-controlled sunroom or step out into the massive .58-acre fenced lot to enjoy the operational above-ground pool--perfect for those North Carolina summers. Complete with a tankless water heater and a 12'x24' outbuilding fully wired with electricity, this isn't just a house; it's a high-performance home ready for its next chapter!
