This 3-bedroom home in Waynesville offers an approachable opportunity near downtown with 864 square feet of interior space, fenced outdoor space, and an included secondary 0.10-acre lot. Set near the end of Clay Street, the property combines convenient access to shopping and restaurants with extra outdoor space and room to make future improvements.
Inside, fresh paint and newer flooring brighten several areas, and the bedrooms have new carpet. The kitchen includes wood cabinetry, ample counter space, and a practical layout, while the covered front porch and rear deck extend the space outdoors. The fenced secondary lot adds flexibility for gardening, recreation, pets, or other permitted uses, and a block storage building provides a practical place for tools, lawn equipment, and seasonal items.
This 3-bedroom home in Waynesville does need additional work, but it offers a starting point for a buyer who wants to personalize a property in a convenient Waynesville location. The home is on a slab foundation and has baseboard heaters.
Important square footage disclosure: the home contains approximately 864 square feet of interior space, but because the ceiling height is under 7 feet throughout, the square footage does not qualify as heated living area for MLS reporting. The property is therefore reported with 0 heated square feet and 864 additional square feet, despite the presence of baseboard heat.
The property is also located within the 100-year floodplain. With the additional fenced lot, storage building, fresh interior updates, end-of-road setting, and proximity to downtown Waynesville, restaurants, shopping, and everyday services, 52 Clay Street offers an appealing combination of location, outdoor space, and improvement potential.
