Cute and charming bungalow located just off W Union St and Burkemont Dr — close to shopping, dining, and all Morganton conveniences. This lovingly maintained home is full of character and offers a welcoming full-length covered front porch with tile flooring, perfect for relaxing any time of day. Step inside to a cozy living room with LVP flooring and a fireplace (flue was sealed when the architectural roof was installed around 2021; unvented gas logs may still be an option). The office/bonus/dining room was originally a bedroom and now provides access to the upstairs, where two additional rooms offer flexible space for storage, hobbies, or overflow needs. Upstairs height is 7'3", but it is not counted in heated living area as it is only heated passively. There are two window A/C units that will remain. The additional non-living sqft upstairs is 266 sqft. The space has been utilized as living space previously by the owner. The kitchen has had updates started and simply needs cosmetic finishing touches such as flooring and paint. Features include a new gas range, dishwasher, washer, gas dryer, disposal, and a pantry. Refrigerator remains (older but in good working condition). The heated and cooled laundry room is included in the HLA and provides access to the backyard and deck overlooking a nice, usable yard. Partial white fencing on the right and chain-link fencing on the left belong to this property. Exterior metal siding was painted approximately 6 years ago and is in great shape. Home is connected to City water and sewer. The wired outbuilding includes electricity, a water spigot, ceiling fan, and window A/C — perfect for garden and yard tools. Partial crawl space storage area (dirt floor) houses the electric water heater and offers additional space for small equipment. The single bathroom is older, featuring a cast-iron tub, single sink with small cabinet, and flooring that needs replacement. Note: No railing on the staircase to the upper level — property will not qualify for FHA, VA, or USDA financing. Cash or conventional loans only. This sweet bungalow offers charm, convenience, and great potential for a buyer ready to add their personal touch.

A fully permitted pier with a floating dock and boat lift is already in place, allowing you to begin enjoying direct access to the water from day one.
