Updated 1910 Country Home on 1 Acre with Large Workshop
This property blends a classic early-20th-century footprint with practical, modern updates and generous outdoor space. The main house — a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home measuring 1,482 square feet — sits on a full acre and has been updated to reduce immediate maintenance needs: a new roof and new windows were installed in October 2021, all plumbing from the road into the house was replaced in 2019, and fresh vinyl siding was added in 2024. The front porch concrete was replaced in March 2026, giving the façade a crisp, well-cared-for presentation.
Beyond the house, a sizable detached workshop/garage is the property's standout feature. It’s built for utility — mechanics, hobbyists, entrepreneurs, or anyone who needs covered storage will appreciate the possibilities. There’s ample room on the lot for RV, boat, or additional vehicle parking, and an old well on site provides a secondary water source ideal for gardening or exterior chores.
Inside, the home’s layout is straightforward and comfortable with functional living spaces that respond well to modest cosmetic upgrades. Buyers will value the move-in-ready improvements to the building envelope paired with the flexibility the 1-acre site provides. Whether you plan to keep the property as-is for a quiet country residence, use the workshop for a small business or hobby, or refresh interiors to increase value, this parcel offers practical options at an accessible price point.

A factual market snapshot around 1833 Mountain Creek Rd.
Albemarle and Stanly County occupy a niche market within the Charlotte MSA: lower-cost homes with land attract buyers priced out of core Charlotte neighborhoods who want acreage and outbuildings. Median sale prices in the area sit near the low-to-mid $200ks; inventory levels are relatively balanced (roughly 3–4 months), which favors well-priced, well-updated homes. Properties offering functional workshops and RV/boat parking generate particular interest and tend to move faster than average. For buyers, this listing represents an affordable entry into a market where land and utility structures carry premium value. For sellers, the combination of recent significant updates and a usable outbuilding supports strong buyer interest and competitive offers in today’s market.
