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.

LOCATION, PRIVACY & POSSIBILITY—JUST 1.2 MILES FROM DOWNTOWN MORGANTON! Some properties are simply homes. This one is a story—and an opportunity to make it your own. Tucked into a peaceful, wooded setting surrounded by 100+ acres of largely undeveloped land, this unique property offers something increasingly hard to find: genuine privacy without sacrificing convenience. Downtown Morganton is only about 1.2 miles away, close enough for an easy bike ride while still feeling worlds away. Deer regularly visit the surrounding landscape, and nature seems to be waiting just outside the windows. Originally a smaller home, this ambitious renovation has been substantially expanded and transformed into a spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence with a large primary suite designed to embrace the natural setting. French doors open from the primary bedroom toward the outdoors, while the private bath features a walk-in shower with custom tile and a large walk-in closet. Step onto the deck and enjoy the peaceful wooded surroundings. Inside, the open floor plan creates a bright, inviting gathering space centered around the kitchen. Much of the heavy lifting has already been completed, including new electrical, plumbing, drywall, insulation, roof, windows, doors and HVAC. Rough inspections have been completed. Significant site work has also been done, including removal of numerous hazardous trees and the addition of substantial gravel. The home combines original hardwood flooring with new LVP flooring, and a new shed provides additional storage. Many of the materials and components needed to finish the project are included. What remains is not a blank slate—it is an opportunity to put your own signature on a home that has already undergone a remarkable transformation. Finish the kitchen island, bar and countertops, complete the bathrooms to your taste, and make the final design choices your own. The current owner has invested substantial time, effort and resources into bringing this vision to life and is now ready to pass the project to someone who can carry it across the finish line. There is still work to be done, but much of the difficult work has already been undertaken. Imagine waking up surrounded by trees and wildlife, enjoying coffee on your deck, then hopping on a bicycle and being downtown in minutes. That combination of privacy, natural beauty and accessibility is exceptionally difficult to duplicate. If you’ve been searching for something different—something private, close to town, full of character and potential, and already transformed from the ground up—come see it for yourself. This isn’t simply a house waiting for a buyer. It’s a home waiting for its next chapter. Bring your vision and finish the story. Seller is a Realtor. Permits obtained, work not completed.
