This beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated 3 bedroom/2 bath brick ranch (offered with no HOA!) rests on over half an acre, delivering a rare combination of space, comfort and enduring appeal. Inside, rich hardwood floors extend throughout a light-filled family room, creating a warm and inviting introduction that flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining area accented by classic wainscoting. The well-appointed kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and generous counter space, ideal for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Just beyond, a spacious living room is anchored by a striking fireplace and opens to a screened-in porch, offering you the ideal space to unwind while overlooking the expansive backyard, now enhanced by a newly installed six-foot privacy fence. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring a fully renovated en-suite bath with designer finishes, including a sleek barn door, penny tile flooring, quartz countertops and an oversized tiled walk-in shower. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized and share an updated full bath complete with a new vanity and quartz surfaces. Significant recent improvements include a brand-new septic system (2026), HVAC (2024), hot water heater (2025), built-in surround sound, and a 50-year roof (2024), along with updated outdoor lighting and refreshed front landscaping, providing peace of mind for years to come. Ideally located, the home sits just moments from Westminster Park, a 320-acre natural preserve along the Catawba River offering miles of trails, sports fields, a playground, ropes course, camping and canoe access. In the opposite direction, convenient access to a private school and nearby shopping center places dining, retail and daily essentials within easy reach. With its generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, thoughtful updates and prime location, this home offers a refined yet relaxed lifestyle designed for modern living!
