About this home
Welcome to this lovingly maintained corner-lot property in the heart of downtown Valdese, where comfort, character, and Southern charm abound.
Step inside and you'll immediately feel the warmth and familiarity that reminds many of simpler times and visits to Grandma's house. The main level features a formal living room, cozy den, country kitchen, dining room, and a primary bedroom. A generous walk-in closet is conveniently located between the bedroom and bathroom. Just off the dining room is a laundry/utility room. An oversized bathroom with a dual vanity, separate shower, and tub/shower combination serves the home. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space.
One of the home's most inviting spaces is the side porch, perfect for rocking chairs, morning coffee, and spending time with family and friends.
Outside, the fully fenced property offers both privacy and room to enjoy the outdoors, with portions of the fencing providing additional privacy. The inground swimming pool serves as the centerpiece for entertaining, while the garden area, apple trees, blueberry bushes, and cherry tree add to the property's charm. All pool equipment conveys, including a newer automatic cleaner.
The oversized detached double garage provides excellent space for vehicles, storage, and projects. Wall-mounted natural gas heaters on both levels provide year-round comfort. Above the garage, you'll find a finished bonus room of nearly 900 square feet, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, hobbies, a home office, recreation room, or flex space.
A charming 190-square-foot outbuilding adds both character and functionality. One side serves as the original cookhouse, once used for canning vegetables and preserves from the garden, while the other side provides workshop and storage space for tools and lawn equipment. Water spigots are conveniently located beside the building and near the swimming pool.
Additional features include a newer gas tankless hot water heater, gas logs in the living room, all kitchen appliances conveying with the sale, mature landscaping, Duke Energy utilities, and Valdese city water.
Conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Valdese, the Recreation Center, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, local dining, Friday night classic car cruise-ins, the annual Heritage Festival, and Fourth of July celebrations.
A truly unique property offering character, versatility, and a wonderful blend of indoor and outdoor living, ready for its next chapter....
