    Introducing a true piece of Burke County history — the Powe House. Situated on nearly an acre just blocks from Historic Downtown Morganton, this property offers timeless character and charm. Step inside to a drop zone followed by a cozy den, creating an inviting first impression. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, beautiful cabinetry, and a functional layout perfect for everyday living. Just beyond the kitchen, a spacious dining room flows seamlessly into the living room, creating an ideal setup for gathering, entertaining, and making the home feel connected throughout. Beautiful hardwood floors carry throughout the home. One of the standout spaces in the home is the billiard room — full of character and the perfect spot for entertaining, a second living area, or game room.

The front sunroom is filled with natural light and provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind with a good book, or simply relax. The main level is completed by a spacious office, full bathroom, and laundry room with pantry space. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a large en-suite bathroom, while two additional generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom provide plenty of room for family or guests. Throughout the home, you’ll find oversized rooms, 9-foot ceilings, and distinctive details that create a beautiful blend of historic beauty and updated living. With nearly an acre of land, this property offers endless opportunities for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or creating your own little homestead — all while being just moments from downtown Morganton.
