Brick Ranch with Original Hardwoods Near Fayetteville Schools
Walk up to classic mid-20th-century brick and you immediately notice the quiet confidence of a home that’s been lived in and cared for. This single-story ranch delivers 1,163 square feet of practical living on a generous 0.23-acre parcel in Holly Springs — a level lot with fenced rear yard, mature trees and a detached one-car garage that doubles as storage or workshop space. Original hardwood floors run through the main living areas, anchoring the home with warmth and period character.
The living room centers on a fireplace and provides an easy gathering place for family evenings; adjacent rooms open to one another with single-level convenience. Tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom reflect durable, low-maintenance finishes, while central AC provides modern comfort. The home’s layout is straightforward and functional: three bedrooms and a single full bath make this an efficient option for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking reliable rental demand.
Outside, the fenced backyard creates a private plot for gardening, pets, or play, and the detached garage offers flexibility for projects or extra storage. Fronting Seabrook Road, the lot provides convenient ingress and egress without feeling cramped. Practical systems are in place — note that heating uses oil and there is an underground oil tank; buyers should plan for inspection and potential remediation as part of due diligence.
Location is one of this property’s strongest assets. Both Ferguson-Easley Elementary (0.1 miles) and E E Smith High (0.2 miles) are within easy walking distance, and a short drive connects you to Cross Creek Mall and Cape Fear Botanical Garden. Sold AS-IS, this home represents a value-oriented opportunity in a stable local market: with original features that add charm and straightforward renovation potential, it’s positioned well for buyers who want character plus upside. Confirm roof, HVAC, and other systems with a professional inspection before purchase.

A factual market snapshot around 1911 Seabrook Rd.
The Holly Springs pocket of Fayetteville is showing as a balanced market with modest upward movement. Current local indicators: median sale price in the area sits near $150,000, average days on market about 45, and inventory around three months — a level that typically supports steady sales without extreme bidding wars. One-year appreciation is roughly 5% and five-year appreciation about 20%, demonstrating gradual value growth rather than volatility. Single-family ranches and starter homes in this price band remain in steady demand, particularly from first-time buyers and investors attracted to solid rental fundamentals: estimated monthly rent for comparable 3BR units is near $1,200, producing a gross yield around 8.7% per current rental estimates.
Comp activity within a half-mile is limited, so valuation relies on the few nearby sales and assessor records; the analysis points to a fair market range of $160,000–$170,000 (midpoint $165,000). Given the property’s original finishes and need for potential system updates (notably the oil heating infrastructure), buyers should budget for improvements. For sellers, the low-to-moderate inventory and steady DOM suggest reasonable exposure and the potential for offers within the estimated value range when marketed to the right buyer set.
