Only two owners in six decades is a rarity--but it's easy to see why. A brick ranch this taken care of, on a lot this size, with this kind of detached storage building does not come available every day. Tucked in an established wooded neighborhood just a stone's throw from the Pitt/Lenoir County line, this home invites you to imagine the setting for your next chapter. The curb appeal is A+: low-maintenance landscaping, sweet periwinkle colored shutters, and even a built-in planter at the front stoop. It welcomes without needing a mat. The house has been meticulously maintained while still offering plenty of opportunity to make it your own. Original hardwood flooring exists beneath nearly all the carpet, and both bathrooms look like they've barely been used. The roof and HVAC are both approximately 10 years young. Anyone who appreciates a great storage building will really dig this one. Along with plenty of space for hobbies, equipment, or simply an escape haven, the laundry machines and a separate water heater are currently housed there. At just over 1/2 acre, the yard gives you room to enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing every weekend to lawn care. This property has held decades of sweet memories and is ready for yours next.
