Inside, you'll find an eat-in kitchen and a functional laundry/mud room for everyday convenience. Features include a durable metal roof and HVAC replaced in 2019 for added peace of mind. Step outside to enjoy the spacious backyard with plenty of room for gardening, play, entertaining, or outdoor activities. Conveniently located between the Triangle and Triad, this property offers an easy commute while still enjoying a more rural setting. If you've been searching for affordability, land, and potential in Orange County, this could be the one!
