Tucked away on 2.20 acres along Richard Road in Ellenboro, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a peaceful place to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. The long driveway leads you back from the road and adds a welcome sense of privacy. The beautiful front porch invites you to settle in with your morning coffee, listen to the sounds of nature, and watch for wildlife passing through. With fairly flat land, there’s room to plant a small garden, set up an outdoor sitting area, or simply enjoy having space around you. An outbuilding adds convenient storage for tools, lawn equipment, and outdoor gear. Inside, the living room and kitchen flow together in an open layout that feels welcoming and easy to live in. Whether you’re searching for a first home, a weekend retreat, or a place to enjoy a quieter pace, this Ellenboro property gives you room to make it your own.
VERY PRIVATE LOCATION! The house cannot be seen from the road. It is very quiet and private. It has great HIGH SPEED INTERNET access thru Carolina West. As you enter the front door, the area is completely open with kitchen, dining and family room. The bedrooms are at the back of the house and both are good size. This property is located in Rutherford County but right on the Cleveland County line so access to Shelby, Forest City, Spindale, Rutherfordton or Morganton are equally good.
