What's special
Set on 2.5 unrestricted acres in Polk County, this spacious home offers approximately 3,700 square feet of living space, plus an impressive 2,300-square-foot garage, shop, and storage area. Outside, the backyard is an entertainer’s dream with an in-ground pool, fireplace, and plenty of room for gatherings with a fenced front yard already in place for pets. Inside, the split-bedroom layout offers a comfortable balance of privacy with the primary suite tucked away on one side of the home with a spa-like ensuite bath and custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms on the opposite side, including one with an additional ensuite bathroom. A bonus room, office, and additional full bathroom give you plenty of flexibility for guests, work, hobbies, or everyday living. The kitchen is a chef's dream with a gas range, new LG refrigerator, freshly painted cabinets, and custom walk in pantry. Upstairs, an additional 1,000 square foot loft offers a family room, movie room or game room and even a separate guest or workout room, full bath, and exceptional storage space. The 2,300-square-foot garage/shop is a rare find and offers endless possibilities for vehicles, toys, equipment, hobbies, a workshop, or additional storage. Minutes from Meadowbrook Golf Course and approximately 15 minutes to Tryon International Equestrian Center, downtown Rutherfordton, Forest City, and shopping. With no restrictions and plenty of room to enjoy the property your way, this one is hard to duplicate.
