Move-in ready and thoughtfully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers privacy, space, and peace of mind on 2.85 wooded acres in Morganton.
Inside, scratch-resistant luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the open living, dining, and kitchen areas. The split-bedroom floor plan provides added privacy for the primary suite, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath. Two additional bedrooms offer comfortable space and ample storage.
Extensive permitted renovations completed within the past two years include updated plumbing and electrical systems, a new water line from the meter to the home, roof, HVAC, water heater, and insulation. Additional improvements include a new crawl-space vapor barrier, sump pump, and added drainage.
The fully fenced backyard features new concrete, a spacious deck-and-patio combination, fresh hardscaping, and a peaceful wooded setting with a creek. The workshop shed has also been improved with a new roof, insulation, and doors.
Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Morganton and zoned for Salem Elementary, Liberty Middle, and Patton High. Fireplace is decorative and currently nonfunctional.
