Property Description
Move-in ready ranch on 2.85 private acres in Morganton - the seller left nothing to worry about. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been improved from the ground up. Inside, brand-new luxury scratch-resistant LVP flooring runs through an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen. The split-bedroom layout gives the primary suite real privacy with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, while the additional bedrooms stay generously sized with ample storage. The real story is peace of mind. Within the last two years the home received a full renovation - all new plumbing, electrical, water line from the meter to the house, roof, HVAC, hot water heater, and insulation - all completed with permits. The current owner kept going: a new crawl space vapor barrier, new sump pump, and additional drainage, so moisture concerns are off the table. Outside, a fully fenced backyard, new concrete, a deck-and-patio combo, and fresh hardscaping create an entertaining setup that's done and waiting. The workshop shed received a new roof, new insulation, and new doors. All of this sits on 2.85 wooded acres with a peaceful creek and true privacy, minutes from downtown Morganton and zoned for Salem Elementary, Liberty Middle, and Patton High. All appliances convey. Please note the fireplace is decorative and currently non-functional. SHOWINGS START WED 7/29 :)
