Seller offering $5k allowance for painting and redecorating. Opportunity meets charm in this single-level patio home with a truly standout garden. Located in a desirable Eastern Gastonia neighborhood (just a few blocks from Publix and a short drive to the Cox Road I-85 exit), this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a smart, accessible layout with all rooms on the main level—no stairs, making it an excellent option for those seeking ease and comfort for years to come. Inside, you’ll find high ceilings, a spacious primary suite, and a cozy gas-log fireplace that gives the living area a welcoming feel. The kitchen features original solid oak cabinetry, offering timeless character and a great foundation for future updates. While the interior could benefit from additional updates, the home is priced accordingly—offering a fantastic opportunity to customize and add value, especially considering a recent listing a few doors down that sold quickly for $70K more. Step outside and you’ll discover what truly sets this home apart: A meticulously maintained backyard garden designed for beauty in every season. Thoughtfully cultivated, it features azaleas, peonies, and a variety of blooming surprises throughout the year, creating a peaceful, English garden-style retreat that’s both manageable and magical. Primary bath features a deep jacuzzi soaking tub and a shower. Split floorpan gives privacy to the primary suite as well. The home is part of a well-kept community with an active HOA that maintains high standards throughout the neighborhood—from consistent upkeep to charming, coordinated seasonal touches like matching red velvet holiday bows on mailboxes. While guidelines are in place, they help preserve property values and create a clean, cohesive environment residents take pride in. With its solid bones, desirable layout, and exceptional outdoor space, this home is perfect for buyers looking to create something special—without overpaying for someone else’s updates.
