Welcome home to the perfect blend of modern convenience and good-old-days charm. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers space, function, character, and a location that is hard to beat 3 minutes to I-85, restaurants, shopping, George Poston Park, walking trails, and access to the Carolina Thread Trail. Inside, you’ll love the gorgeous renovated kitchen featuring an island, all-new appliances, abundant storage, and thoughtful designer touches throughout. The home also offers all-new LVP flooring, updated bathrooms, a custom primary closet, beautiful fixture selections, and generous storage. The sellers thoughtfully preserved the unique gingerbread windows, adding a special touch of character that makes this home feel truly one of a kind. With a spacious living room, wood-burning fireplaces, and a large peaceful backyard, this home invites you to slow down and enjoy life — game nights by the fire, bikes on the dead-end street, and time spent outside with the people you love. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system, water heater, majority of windows replaced, and newly completed landscaping. A storage shed adds extra functionality out back. Best of all, all work was permitted and completed by licensed professionals. This home delivers the best of both worlds: modern updates, everyday convenience, and a nostalgic sense of home.
