About the property

Updated Ranch on a Spacious 0.32-Acre Lot in Malibu Valley

What stands out first at 104 Baldwin Circle is the generous, level 0.32-acre parcel — rare for single-story homes in Malibu Valley. This ranch offers 1,469 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space: wide swaths of hardwood run through the main rooms, an updated kitchen and bathrooms reduce near‑term maintenance, and a living room fireplace provides a warm focal point for family gatherings.

The single-level layout makes daily life easy. Bedrooms cluster away from the heart of the home, while the living area, kitchen, and dining zones feel open without losing definition. The kitchen shows recent attention to detail with modern finishes (see disclosures for specifics) and connects smoothly to a dining nook that overlooks the yard — ideal for weekday breakfasts or relaxed weekend barbecues. Two full bathrooms have been renovated to complement the home’s original character while adding contemporary convenience.

Outside, the broad front yard and deep backyard create opportunity: gardening, play space, or a future covered patio. The 2-car attached garage and long driveway provide ample parking for guests and projects. Practical systems include forced-air gas heating and central AC; the roof is asphalt shingle construction (seller disclosures and inspections recommended).

Positioned within easy reach of White Oak Shopping Center (approx. 1.2 miles) and Garner Towne Square, this property offers suburban calm with quick access to everyday conveniences. Lake Benson Park and the Garner Performing Arts Center are minutes away, giving families and active buyers parks, trails, and community programming without a long commute. Wake County schools serve the neighborhood (Aversboro Elementary, East Garner Middle, Garner High) — see school section for ratings.

This home has been owner-occupied since 2011 and shows the care of long-term stewardship. Local recent sales for comparable ranches in the immediate area place fair-market value in the $320K–$350K range, making this listing competitively positioned. Buyers should verify roof and HVAC condition and confirm renovation permits. With limited inventory across Garner and steady appreciation over the past five years, 104 Baldwin Circle presents a low-maintenance, single‑level option on a sizable lot — a smart pick for downsizers, families, or investors seeking reliable rental demand.

Editorial market perspective

Garner’s market remains in a seller’s-favor posture: inventory sits at roughly 2.5 months and average days on market near 30 days, so well-priced homes typically attract multiple offers within weeks. Median sale price in the area is about $340,000, and one-year appreciation is modestly positive (≈5%) while five-year gains approach 25%. For single-family ranches like 104 Baldwin Circle, demand is steady from both owner-occupant families and investors—lease comps and rental estimates indicate solid rentability (estimated monthly rent ~$1,800; gross rental yield ~6.4%).

Comparable recent sales within a half-mile (sales between $320K–$350K) support a market value near the listing midpoint; price-per-square-foot comparables ranged roughly $172–$259 depending on size and upgrades. Limited local inventory, proximity to retail and parks, and strong neighborhood appreciation make this an opportune time for buyers seeking long-term value. Nevertheless, prudent buyers should confirm status of mechanical systems and any renovations to avoid post-purchase surprises.
