MOTIVATED SELLER, BRING ALL OFFERS!!!
Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home situated on approximately 1.05 acres in the heart of Newton, NC. Offering the perfect blend of one-level living, convenience, and functionality, this property is ideal for buyers seeking acreage, workshop space, multiple garages, and easy access to everyday amenities.
Built in 1947, this well-maintained home features beautiful hardwood flooring throughout most of the home, with vinyl flooring in the laundry room and carpet in the versatile third bedroom. The inviting living room is filled with natural light and highlighted by a cozy gas log fireplace, large picture window, and modern exterior doors featuring built-in blinds between the glass panes. The primary bedroom offers a spacious walk-in closet, while the updated bathroom (2023) adds modern appeal.
Additional improvements include upgraded windows with a transferable lifetime warranty (per seller and prior listing), a tankless water heater, two new front entry doors—one facing the street and one located on the side of the home near the covered porch, a freshly stained deck, and major system updates including the roof, furnace, and air conditioning replaced in 2013. All windows are equipped with screens, and screens for the storm doors are conveniently stored in the garage. The deck door also features an installed doggy door for added convenience. For added practicality, the property features three antifreeze exterior water spigots strategically located on three different sides of the home for easy outdoor access. The home also offers ample attic storage with flooring already in place, providing valuable space for seasonal items, tools, and long-term storage needs.
The flexible third bedroom features its own private entrance from the deck, a walk-in shower, half bath, closet, and enclosed covered access leading to the main electrical panel and generator hookup, offering added preparedness and convenience during power outages. This versatile space is ideal for guests, hobbies, a home office, or additional living needs.
Outside, you'll find an oversized attached two-car garage with exterior motion-detection lighting, a workbench, storage cabinets, and metal shelving, along with two additional detached garages/workshops. The freshly painted 18' x 21' wooden garage/workshop is a standout feature, offering a metal shelving unit, two workbench spaces, pegboard tool storage with attached metal basket organizers, built-in drawers, electrical service, and an attached storage shed with a locking exit door. Motion-sensor lighting is installed on both the front and rear of the building for added convenience and security. The 24' x 26' metal garage/workshop offers electricity, ample lighting, additional workbench space, and motion-sensor lighting overlooking the fenced area.
A portion of the property is fenced and includes a gate leading to the peaceful creek bordering the rear of the property. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit and the beauty of mature black walnut, pecan, and maple trees scattered throughout the landscape.
Connected to city water and city sewer, this unique property offers the convenience of being within walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, schools, and other daily amenities while still providing the space and privacy of a larger tract.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a move-in ready home with 1.05 acres, creek access, multiple garages, workshop space, ample storage, mature trees, generator hookup, and one-level living in a convenient Newton location. Whether you're looking for space for hobbies, a home-based business, vehicles, equipment, or simply room to spread out, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to find in today's market.
