Welcome to this beautifully updated Valdese ranch, where classic character meets a surprisingly spacious and versatile floor plan! Built in 1950 and lovingly maintained, this home offers freshly refinished hardwood floors, multiple living areas, flexible spaces, and wonderful indoor-outdoor living.
Step inside to a comfortable living room with three bedrooms nearby, including the primary bedroom. An updated full bath features a beautiful ceramic tile shower. Continue through the mudroom with main-level laundry and into the heart of the home, where a second full bath offers a dual vanity and generous dressing area.
The spacious family room flows into the dining area and kitchen with bar seating, creating an inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. All kitchen appliances convey. Just off the kitchen, the deck provides a great spot for outdoor dining, while the lower deck and covered patio below with hot tub and landscape lighting offers a cozy place to unwind.
The recently completed upper level adds two generously sized rooms, including an additional bedroom and versatile bedroom/flex space, with a mini-split system for year-round comfort. The partially finished basement provides even more usable space with a rec room, kitchenette, additional storage, and a second laundry area.
Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard and an impressive 890 sq. ft. oversized detached double garage, offering plenty of room for vehicles, a boat, workshop, hobbies, lawn equipment, recreational toys, or extra storage.
Located in-town Valdese with city water and sewer, this home is convenient to the recreation center, community pool, pickleball and tennis courts, Temple Field, Friday night cruise-ins, live music, Fourth of July festivities, and other community events.
Freshly refinished hardwoods, flexible living space, fantastic outdoor areas, and an exceptional detached garage make this lovingly cared-for Valdese home one you'll want to see!
