This bungalow announces itself with old‑town character and an unusually generous yard for a Main Street address. Set on a level 0.44‑acre parcel with frontage on N Main St, 1120 N Main St offers 968 square feet of single‑story living where original hardwood floors and a working fireplace remain focal points. The footprint is compact and comfortable — two bedrooms and one full bath — but the property’s true value is the outdoor space and location close to downtown Troy.
Inside, the home shows vintage details that will appeal to buyers who appreciate period character: hardwood floors underfoot, classic proportions in the living area, and a fireplace that anchors gatherings. The roof is asphalt shingle; cooling is currently provided by a wall unit and the property does not list a central heating system, so buyers should plan for mechanical updates. Practical systems aside, the layout lends itself to thoughtful cosmetic refreshes or a modest renovation that preserves the home’s historic feel while adding contemporary comforts.
The lot invites many possibilities — substantial yard room for gardening, a workshop, future garage, or kids’ play area — rare for an in‑town parcel. Driveway parking accommodates two vehicles. Utilities are municipal water and sewer, and the property is served by Piedmont Natural Gas and Duke Energy. Zoned R‑1 for single‑family residential use, this home is ideal for first‑time buyers, downsizers seeking one‑level living, or investors looking for a value‑add rental close to schools and community amenities.
Location is a standout: just 0.5 miles from the Montgomery County Courthouse, 0.6 miles to Troy Elementary, and roughly 1.2 miles to Montgomery Community College. Downtown Troy’s small‑town rhythms — local shops, civic buildings, and community events — are all within a short walk or drive. The home last sold in June 2022 for $115,000 and sits in a market where median area sales are around $160,000; with the right updates, this property offers upside in a stable, slowly appreciating local market.
Buyers should verify systems, roof and foundation condition, and exact lot boundaries during inspection (see audit notes). With period charm, a sizable lot, and a central location, 1120 N Main St is a rare opportunity to secure an affordable bungalow in the seat of Montgomery County.
