Talk about potential! Cute home on property is absolutely livable but needs a little fixing up. "Bonus room" could be a 3rd bedroom or another full bath (garden tub currently installed in room). The real prize is the detached garage. Roughly 4,500 square feet of concrete slab (thick enough for lifts). Used to be an auto body shop for PPG. Enough space for any car enthusiast! Garage needs work but, once restored, this property will have incredible unique value!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District
The Rural Mixed-Use District (R-MU) district is intended to allow residential and non-residential development to occur with fewer restrictions in less urbanized areas of the county. The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
Directions: From I40 West. Take the exit for Old NC Hwy 10 and turn left. Turn left onto Johnson Bridge Rd. Follow until it turns into Wilkies Grove Church Rd. Home is on the right.
