Asking for highest and best offer by Sunday 22nd @ 5pm.
Welcome to 5407 Horse Branch Rd, a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded Southern retreat nestled on three parcels for approx. 9.11 acres in peaceful Willard, NC. This 3-bedroom, 3 full-bath home offers 2,562 sq ft of warm, inviting living space with hardwood, tile, and carpeted floors throughout. The kitchen and bathrooms feature matching natural stone countertops and stylish, updated fixtures. All newer stainless steel appliances, plus a washer and dryer, are included for a move-in-ready experience. Built with comfort and peace of mind in mind, this home is equipped with a whole-house Generac generator with automatic start, powered by a 330-gallon propane tank—so you'll never be without power, even during storms. A new roof was installed in 2016, eight windows were proactively replaced in 2022, and the HVAC system has been recently serviced. A transferable termite bond is already in place. What truly sets this property apart is its incredible expansion potential. The fully floored attic offers an additional 1,040 sq ft of space ready to finish, with a dedicated area already built into the home for a future staircase. Above the garage, another 252 sq ft of floored space is accessible via interior hardwood stairs—ideal for a bonus room or private office. Step outside to a lush, beautifully maintained yard with a covered rear deck perfect for enjoying a cold drink on hot summer days. A 2.5-acre invisible fence offers pets the freedom to roam safely. Two well-kept storage sheds, including one with power, provide ample space for projects or storage. The cream-colored exterior and burnt umber roof add timeless charm to this already remarkable property. Peaceful yet convenient to schools and services, this home blends classic Southern charm with modern preparedness and room to grow. A rare find with space, stability, and soul.
