Immaculately maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage-style home situated on approximately 2.99 beautifully landscaped acres, offering the perfect combination of privacy, charm, and convenience! From the moment you enter through the gated driveway, you'll appreciate the care and attention that make this property so special. Nearly half of the acreage is fenced, and the thoughtfully maintained landscaping creates a picturesque setting. A spacious two-car-deep carport provides ample covered parking and could easily double as a wonderful outdoor entertaining space. The inviting front porch, complete with rocking chairs, sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout the home. Step inside to an open, comfortable floor plan where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow seamlessly together. Just off the living area, a large, freshly painted deck provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The main level also features a bedroom, full bathroom, and conveniently located laundry area. A beautiful staircase with an attractive handrail leads to the upper level, where you'll find two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom. The largest of the three bedrooms is upstairs, giving you the flexibility to choose a primary bedroom on either the main or upper level. The finished portion of the lower level offers yet another spacious living area, ideal for a recreation room, den, media room, or hobby space. Additional storage and a one-car basement garage complete this versatile home. While the home itself is impressive, the outdoor setting truly makes this property stand apart. With nearly three acres to enjoy, a gated entrance, fenced grounds, beautifully maintained landscaping, and multiple outdoor gathering spaces, this property offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy country-style living without sacrificing convenience. Located just outside the vibrant town of Morganton, North Carolina, and only minutes from Interstate 40, you'll enjoy easy access to downtown Morganton's restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Hickory, Asheville and Charlotte are also within a convenient driving distance, while the charming mountain communities of Boone and Blowing Rock offer year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation, from summer hiking and scenic adventures to winter skiing and snow sports.
