Brick Ranch on .73-Acre Lot with Sunroom & Workshop
This solid brick ranch on Union Heights Court sits on a rare, private .73-acre lot and blends comfortable everyday living with unexpectedly useful bonus spaces. The single-level floorplan (1,765 sq ft) offers three bedrooms and two full baths arranged for privacy and day-to-day ease: generous common rooms flow to a bright, year-round sunroom that overlooks the backyard and woods beyond. The kitchen retains a practical footprint with full appliance package included, while the adjacent living/dining areas provide flexible options for entertaining or quiet evenings.
Outside is where this property truly separates itself. A large, level backyard with mature tree screening creates a private outdoor room for gardening, play, or a future pool. A detached garage/workshop — finished with a full bathroom — gives the property remarkable flexibility: convert to a studio, guest suite, hobby workshop, or home business space (confirm local permits). An attached two-car garage (approx. 559 sq ft) and a broad driveway provide ample parking and storage for tools, toys, and seasonal gear.
Constructed in 2007 with a brick exterior, the home is low-maintenance and well-suited to buyers seeking single-story simplicity without sacrificing usable land. Systems include a heat pump and central air; water is provided by county connection and wastewater is serviced by an on-site septic system (buyers should obtain recent inspection records). Located in the Vale area with convenient access to Shelby and regional roads, this property offers a country-feel with practical proximity to shopping and services.
If you value privacy, workshop potential, and a comfortable ranch footprint, schedule a showing to walk the lot and explore the detached space — homes with this combination of acreage, construction quality, and accessory utility are uncommon at this price point.

A factual market snapshot around 1784 Union Heights Ct.
Cleveland County and the outlying Vale area remain attractive to buyers moving outward from the Charlotte metro because of lot size and relative affordability. In the past 12 months this submarket has shown modest appreciation (single-digit year-over-year) and steady buyer demand for single-story brick homes with usable land. Inventory levels are moderate; well-priced, turnkey homes with accessory buildings tend to sell quicker than average. This property is listed at $425,000 (≈$241/sq ft), near automated valuation models, which should keep it competitive with motivated, value-conscious buyers who prioritize space and utility over urban proximity.
Likely single-family residential zoning; parcel size and improvements consistent with low-density residential (confirm with county zoning department).
