Just Reduced! This two bed/two bath home offers plenty of living area in the great room and large bedrooms. You'll find nice tile work in the baths and sprinkled throughout the home, too! Outside, it's all usable land and its gentle grade barely comes into play. You could garden the whole thing, or play touch football on this 1.53 acre parcel. ¶ A very low-maintenance home with HardieBoard exterior siding, this home was finished in 2014, so the central heat & air system, the electrical, the plumbing, the insulation...it's just five years old! Plus you'll find engineered hardwood floors installed throughout this charmer, and you'll appreciate the fenced-in back yard for your pups. A circular driveway offers handy access to the paved road, and the parcel, nestled in the gated community of Hearthstone Ridge, is nearly level! Plus there's a large deck facing north (shady in the afternoon) on the back of the home, contributing to a great environment in which to relax and enjoy life! ¶ As you walk through the front door of this 1,232 sq. ft. home, it opens into a great room, where pine tongue & groove boards enhance the vaulted ceiling, which goes up to about 15' at the peak, giving one a nice sense of openness. (Even with the nice high peak, there is attic space over the bedrooms that could used for storage, even be converted to a loft!) The kitchen features a granite covered island, while the main counter tops are a faux leather finish. Left of the dedicated laundry room, double doors open to the deck. Let in the fresh breezes! This is a split floor plan, so one bedroom (master) is on the left of the great room, and the second bedroom/bath is on the right. ¶ Outside, the 1.53 acre lot is a great asset. It features crepe myrtles, hydrangeas, camellias, daylilies, and so many trees, yet plenty of open space, and we mentioned the fenced area. A large storage shed is ready for your extra belongings, garden tools, etc. This home is on a well and septic system (also only five years old, of course), with the 'installer tag' on the well (a metal plate affixed to the casing) rating the flow at a crazy good 50 gpm! That is a heck of a well, and by the way, we have excellent water here! ¶ This property is located in the rural, gated community of Hearthstone Ridge, just north of Rutherfordton, where horses are welcome, and low yearly dues of $396 maintain the paved roads. It's only a ten minute drive into town, but here you'll enjoy regular visits from resident white-tailed deer and wild turkey, not to mention all the peace and quiet you've been looking for!
