Charming Single-Level 3BR/2BA—Walk to Downtown Kannapolis
This tidy, single-story ranch at 1105 S Walnut St offers efficient living and a location that pulls buyers in: just a short stroll to Atrium Ballpark and downtown Kannapolis. The well-laid-out split-bedroom floorplan places two bedrooms on one wing and the primary suite on the other for privacy; the central living, dining and kitchen form an open, functional hub that flows for everyday life and casual entertaining. At approximately 1,215 sqft, the home is easy to maintain without sacrificing livability.
Mechanicals include a heat pump and central air. The kitchen features an electric range and dishwasher, and laundry is conveniently located on the main level. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is a private, low-maintenance space with two storage sheds that convey—great for tools, bikes, or a workshop. A driveway provides off-street parking; buyers who want covered parking can budget for a future carport or garage addition (verify permitting requirements).
The neighborhood is quietly residential yet remarkably walkable for a small city: restaurants, neighborhood shops, walking trails and seasonal events in downtown Kannapolis are within easy reach. Quick access to Hwy 3 and Hwy 29 keeps regional commuting simple. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a buyer seeking one-level living, or an investor looking for steady rental demand, this property pairs location and practicality in a compact package.
Plan a showing to evaluate condition and layout in person—this home is priced to reflect its size and location and is poised to move in Kannapolis’s active entry-level market.

A factual market snapshot around 1105 S Walnut St.
Downtown Kannapolis has been building momentum as local investments—restaurants, walking trails, and the ballpark—raise demand for nearby housing. The local market remains attractive to first-time buyers and investors seeking entry-level single-family homes. Median sale prices in the broader area are modestly below Charlotte proper, and inventory has been lean relative to demand, producing average days on market near 30–45 for correctly priced homes.
