The home has seen several recent updates including LVP flooring and an insulated crawl space. An outbuilding on the property has been converted into a private office with electricity and a mini-split system, making it a flexible space that works well for remote work, hobbies, or a creator's studio. Inside, the kitchen opens to the dining area and features a wood stove with an exposed brick chimney. French doors lead from the dining space to the front porch. The layout is functional and easy to maintain. Out back, the yard is partially fenced and offers access to parking and the outbuilding from the rear of the property. This home is located close to downtown Erwin with convenient access to local shops, dining, and everyday amenities. Move-in ready and ready for its next owner! This property is not in a flood zone.
