Offering nearly 4,000 square feet, this residence feels as though it was pulled straight from the pages of a catalog, with gracious living spaces, thoughtfully selected finishes, and distinctive details throughout. Classic black-and-white flooring brings personality to the kitchen, while multiple gathering areas provide an inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The home features four bedrooms, all located on the second floor, along with three full baths and one half bath. An upper-level balcony adds another touch of charm and provides a peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding setting. Outside, the fenced yard offers privacy and room to relax, complemented by a patio and a separate outbuilding for additional storage. An unfinished cellar provides even more practical storage space. Rich in character yet comfortable and approachable, this exceptional Gastonia home is one that truly must be seen to be fully appreciated.
