Property Description
**11/24/25 - Multiple offers received** Welcome to 1978 Powell Ave - a beautifully transformed brick ranch on 1.28 flat, tree-lined acres in Lancaster. Built in 1957 but renovated like a 2025 home inside a classic brick shell, this 2BR/1BA property blends vintage charm with the comfort, confidence, and efficiency of a fully updated modern home. Nearly every interior surface and major system has been refreshed or replaced, offering something unusually rare at this price point: years of stress-free living. Inside, you'll find a bright, inviting layout with all-new drywall, smooth ceilings, fresh paint, and LVP flooring throughout. The renovated kitchen includes painted cabinetry, new countertops, updated lighting, a modern sink and faucet, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. The bathroom feels crisp and current with a tiled walk-in shower, new vanity, ceramic tile floors, and stylish fixtures. Both bedrooms feature new windows, new doors, new lighting, ceiling fans, and updated finishes that make the home feel new from end to end. This home stands out for its deep system-level upgrades: new PEX plumbing, new electric water heater, new electrical panel with AFCI/GFCI protection, updated wiring with multiple new circuits, and a gas pack HVAC that's been inspected, cleaned, and serviced. Efficiency upgrades include new attic insulation, new crawlspace insulation, and a brand-new vapor barrier encapsulation for a dry, protected foundation. Add in all new windows, new doors, and new interior/exterior lighting, and the result is truly turnkey comfort built to last. Outside, enjoy mature trees, fresh landscaping, a shed, and a two-car-width paved driveway with walkway. With the acreage space, there's room for a future garage, carport, workshop, gardens, pets, play space, or simply enjoying the luxury of the land being all your own. All of this just minutes from downtown Lancaster, Home Depot, Aldi, restaurants, cafés, parks, and favorites like 521 BBQ and Stacks. Outdoor lovers enjoy Lancaster Golf Club, Andrew Jackson State Park, and nearby lakes and trails. With convenient access to both Charlotte and Columbia, the home works beautifully as a primary residence or investment. If you've been searching for a renovated home with land - and zero upcoming work to make it come together - this is it. Fresh, modern, efficient, and wrapped in timeless brick charm, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, quality, and ease.
