Single-Story 3BR/2BA Ranch with Modern Updates and Garage
Start with the warmth of a gas-log fireplace anchoring the living room — this single-story ranch at 1476 Aultroy Dr delivers comfortable, low-maintenance living with thoughtful updates. Built in 2006 and maintained by the current owner since 2021, the 1,526-square-foot floor plan keeps everything on one level: three bedrooms, two full baths, an attached two-car garage, and an easygoing yard that’s ideal for weekend play or container gardening.
Inside, updated flooring and modern kitchen appliances give the home a current feel without the work of a full renovation. The kitchen opens to a casual dining area and living space, where sightlines center on the fireplace and large traffic patterns make entertaining simple. Bedrooms are well-proportioned; the primary suite includes an attached bath, while the second full bath serves the two guest rooms and visitors.
Systems that matter are in place — central AC and a heat-pump HVAC system provide year-round comfort — and the asphalt-shingle roof and overall condition are reported as good, though roof age should be verified during due diligence. The backyard sits on a level 0.16-acre lot with a standard residential driveway and curb frontage along Aultroy Drive. A two-car garage plus driveway parking give you practical storage and staging space.
Acorn Ridge offers suburban ease with quick access to regional anchors: approximately five miles to Fort Liberty, seven miles to Cross Creek Mall, six miles to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center and roughly eight miles to downtown Fayetteville. That location makes the property appealing to military buyers, commuters, and investors — lease comps in the immediate area suggest achievable monthly rent around $1,500. Recent nearby sales cluster in the $247K–$259K range, supporting a market value near $250,000.
This home reads as move-in ready for a buyer seeking an updated, single-level plan in a quiet neighborhood with practical proximity to shopping, medical services and the military base. It’s an attractive option for buyers who want minimal upfront work and reliable long-term appreciation in a stable Fayetteville pocket. Important next steps: confirm roof condition, verify any HOA details, and complete a professional inspection.
