Rare find with private country living on ½ acre, convenient to surrounding cities and schools! The seller prepared this house for residency in retirement but was forced to change plans. The house has many repairs and upgrades. Previous owners disclosed that the roof was replaced in 2019 and the heat pump was new in 2020; replacement thermal windows were added sometime along the way. Since purchase, the current owners have replaced the entire septic system, upgraded plumbing lines, and brought electrical service to code. In addition, all the following are brand new: flooring throughout the house, wall paint, ceiling repair and paint, kitchen cabinets/countertops, dishwasher, microwave, and a new water heater. The enclosed storage room at the side entrance suggests a possible future heated space. Municipal water service is available at the street but the existing well serves the house just fine. The large privacy fence secludes you from neighbors and traffic but remains open to the adjacent farmland behind, a natural reminder of our home in rural eastern North Carolina. Don't miss the chance to walk through this cute home that is already set up for the long haul, just waiting for the next chapter of ownership to begin. Perfect for investors also.
