A‑Frame 3BR / 2BA on .76 Acre with Workshop & Screened Porch
This distinctive A‑Frame / ranch blends vaulted, open-concept living with practical workspace and nearly an acre of yard. At 1,779 square feet, the floor plan places a soaring living area with fireplace and open kitchen at the center — perfect for gatherings — while a sizable den provides flexible space for a home office, playroom, or media room. Three bedrooms and two full baths are arranged on one level for easy living.
The home sits on a generous 0.76‑acre lot (33,105 SF) offering room for gardening, a play area, or future expansion (confirm county setbacks). Sellers have refreshed the interior with paint and new carpeting; mechanicals include central heat & air with a heat pump. A 2‑car attached garage includes a dedicated workshop area and there’s an additional outside storage building for hobbies and seasonal gear. The screened rear porch extends living outdoors while providing a bug‑free place to relax.
Practical highlights include public water and sewer availability (listing also notes an on-site septic), a long driveway for guest parking, and garage access that faces the front for convenience. The parcel lies just outside Rutherfordton town limits, providing a semi-rural setting with short drives to downtown services, restaurants, and the county courthouse.
