Nestled on a picturesque ½-acre corner homesite, this charming property offers a serene retreat backing onto Tar Branch Creek, which connects to Walnut Creek. Enjoy the tranquil setting where deer are often seen grazing just beyond the backyard fence. The home features a spacious concrete back patio, partially covered for year-round enjoyment, and an additional concrete slab ideal for parking an Airstream or extra vehicle. Built in 1978, this well-maintained 1,609 SQFT home boasts 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a cozy living room complete with a beautiful fireplace, built-in shelving, and classic wood paneling. The generously-sized master suite includes a separate shower, his and hers closets, and dual sinks. While the home retains its original finishes, it’s in excellent condition and ready for your personal touch with just cosmetic updates. Additional features include a large laundry room, a 2-car garage, and a sizable storage building, all complemented by the property's mature trees and fully fenced yard. With several new developments in the neighborhood, including brand-new duplexes, this site offers tremendous potential. This property not only offers a charming existing home but also presents a valuable development opportunity. The current home is situated on the left half of the lot, leaving the right side—a prime corner and side frontage—available for new development. You can update the existing home and either live in it or sell it while developing the other half of the lot. Whether you choose to build a new home or a duplex, this additional space significantly enhances the value of the homesite, making it an ideal investment in a rapidly growing neighborhood. Located just minutes from The Domain, this home combines a peaceful creekside location with exciting possibilities for future development.
