Charming & cozy, this adorable brick ranch is hands down the best home you'll find for $215,000 in WNC! Terrific lot just under 1 acre only minutes from downtown Rutherfordton with public water and access to high speed internet. Thoroughly remodeled in 2020, the property is neat as a pin inside and out. The thoughtful kitchen cabinet design maximizes every inch of space for an attractive combination of form and fashion - white shaker cabinets, stainless appliances, upgraded granite countertops & subway tile backsplash. Luxury vinyl plank floors throughout the living area and bath, built-in shelving by the fireplace and added storage in the bath w/tall linen cabinet. Overall, the home presents a very cohesive & eye-catching design with much attention to detail. Quick access to US 221, convenient to medical facilities and retail businesses, and right down the street from RS Middle & RS High School. Lovely home, desirable location, & incredible value!!
