Welcome to this lovingly maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bath home situated on 1.44 beautiful acres offering privacy, flexibility, and room to grow. Originally built in 1932, the home has been thoughtfully cared for over the years and is move-in ready while still offering opportunities to personalize and make it your own. Recent improvements include a new roof, a new French drain to help protect the foundation, a long new floor joist to reinforce the foundation, a stove vent, and removal of an old mobile home from the included lot next to the house. Other notable features are an hvac system, an office or miscellaneous room, and a laundry room/mudroom. Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The land is filled with mature hardwood shade trees, fruit trees, grapevines, berry bushes, and expansive green space. Whether you dream of gardening, homesteading, keeping chickens or goats in the existing outbuilding, adding an outdoor gathering space or home, or simply enjoy the privacy of your own backyard, this space offers exceptional possibilities. An additional bonus is the former homesite located to the right of the house, where existing electric service and septic hookups remain from a previous mobile home. The existing infrastructure presents possibilities for future expansion, a guest space, a camper setup, or other creative uses. While the setting feels secluded, you're just minutes from both downtown Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro, where you'll enjoy local restaurants, parks, the Wilkes County Public Library, Wilkes Community College, the public swimming pool, ALDI, shopping, and the nationally celebrated MerleFest. Looking toward the mountains? Boone, Appalachian State University, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are only about a 30-minute drive away. Whether you're searching for your first home, a mountain-area retreat, a place to garden and grow, or a place with room to imagine what's next, this home offers a combination of character, usable land, and opportunity.
