Refreshed 3-Bed Ranch with Hardwood Floors & Detached Garage
What makes 108 N Watauga Ave stand out is the way original mid-century details have been preserved even as the house was thoughtfully updated. Step into a living room that showcases original hardwood floors, crown molding and built-in shelving — features that give the home warmth and character — then walk through to a kitchen refreshed with granite countertops and appliances that convey, creating a practical, attractive heart for daily life.
The single-story layout delivers comfortable, efficient living: three well-proportioned bedrooms, a separate dining room for family meals or homework, and a fully modernized bath with a stylish tiled shower. Fresh paint throughout brightens each room and lets the hardwoods and trim read clearly. Practical systems include central air and forced-air heat; the home sits on a level 0.26-acre parcel with a composition roof and a detached single-car garage plus driveway parking for additional vehicles.
Outside, the lot’s generous footprint gives you room for a vegetable garden, a play area, or a private patio. Frontage on N Watauga Ave places the property within easy walking distance of local amenities: Tyler Park (roughly three blocks), the Dunn–Erwin Rail Trail, and Downtown Dunn — perfect for morning errands, weekend coffees, and community events. Commuters will appreciate quick access to I‑95 and connections into the Fayetteville MSA.
This ranch blends move-in readiness with upside: recent kitchen and bath updates lower near-term maintenance needs, appliances convey, and a detached garage provides storage or a small workshop. With comparable sales in the immediate area between $195K and $225K and a valuation midpoint of $210,000, this home is positioned as a practical choice for first-time buyers, down-sizers, or investors seeking a rental with proven demand in Dunn.
Note: buyers should verify lot boundaries, review renovation permits where applicable, and complete a professional inspection for systems and roof condition as part of due diligence.
