Description

This nearly 120-year-old farmhouse has all the necessary updates to keep up with the times, but it is still quite reminiscent of 1904. Much of the house still has the original hardwoods, and a glass of tea on the front porch swing will transcendentally transport you to much simpler days. As you approach the home, you will be greeted by a lovely, spacious front yard. The kitchen features updated cabinets, quartz counter tops, and an island. The primary bedroom suite includes closet space as part of...This nearly 120-year-old farmhouse has all the necessary updates to keep up with the times, but it is still quite reminiscent of 1904. Much of the house still has the original hardwoods, and a glass of tea on the front porch swing will transcendentally transport you to much simpler days. As you approach the home, you will be greeted by a lovely, spacious front yard. The kitchen features updated cabinets, quartz counter tops, and an island. The primary bedroom suite includes closet space as part of a laundry/utility room that was originally the back porch. There is a spacious room in the center of the home that can be used as a den, a study or an office. The second bedroom is directly beside another full bath with a garden tub. Located just a short distance from downtown Valdese, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options, but it feels miles away from modernity. Don't miss your chance to make this beautiful property your forever home.
