About this home

Beautiful Home with Acreage & Guest Cottage - UNDER APPRAISAL VALUE! This 3 bed, 2 bath full-brick ranch is surrounded by 4.7 acres of mature woods & blends modern updates with classic charm. Fully renovated in 2023, it features new interior finishes, updated fixtures, and light-filled living spaces. A partially finished basement adds flexibility, along with the covered front porch. A recently finished 500 sq ft detached guest cottage with bath opens the door to multi-generational living, a private home office, or supplemental rental income. Water, septic & power hookups throughout the property, for your own RV or rentals. Outdoors are perfect for entertaining & homesteading. Fully covered firepit area & outdoor kitchen with fridge, grill, and rustic timber countertops. The property also includes a large enclosed chicken coop & run, two covered parking areas, and lush, mature landscaping. Feels secluded yet only minutes from both Rutherfordton and Forest City’s shops and dining, and small-town charm. The entire basement is heated and cooled - one portion is currently being used as storage and is not noted in the heated living area square footage. Recent appraisal available upon request.

Can be combined with lot for sale on adjacent lot - MLS listing 4362527.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
