Updated 3-Bed Ranch on 0.65-Acre Lot with Sunroom & Deck
This thoughtfully refreshed single-story ranch offers comfortable everyday living on a rare, sizeable Stanley lot. Inside, discover 3 bedrooms and 2 fully updated baths across 1,741 square feet — tasteful renovations include renovated bathrooms, a kitchen with granite countertops and a deep utility sink, and a new stove. Systems are largely replaced: new HVAC and ductwork in 2024 and a heat pump installed in 2025, plus a 3-year-old roof and a new septic tank — all reducing near-term maintenance for the next owner.
Living flows to a bright sunroom that overlooks the property and to a wooden deck that steps down to the large fully fenced backyard — perfect for kids, pets, raised beds, or a future workshop. The primary suite is generous and paired with a spa-like bath. Practical updates and a single-level plan make this home appealing to a broad range of buyers: families, empty nesters, and investors.
Outside, the .65-acre parcel provides privacy uncommon inside the town limits. The setting feels semi-rural while remaining close to Stanley conveniences and recreational assets — Mountain Island Lake and other water access points are a short drive away, and Charlotte is an easy commute for workers seeking a quieter homebase.
With a strong list-price position and recent system investments, this property is essentially turnkey. Showings by appointment — this one is priced to sell quickly for buyers seeking space, updated systems, and an easy-to-maintain single-story layout.

207 Hovis Rd, Stanley, NC 28164
Stanley is a small, tight-knit town on the edge of the Charlotte metro with a semi-rural character. Neighborhoods mix older single-family homes, newer infill, and woodland parcels. Residents value access to nearby lakes and green space while benefiting from commutes into Gastonia, Belmont, and Charlotte. Local businesses, schools, and parks lend a community feel uncommon in larger suburbs.
Easy access to Mountain Island Lake and local parks for boating, fishing and walking; large private yard enhances on-site recreation options.
A factual market snapshot around 207 Hovis Rd.
Stanley and adjacent Gaston County pockets have been steady performers within the broader Charlotte MSA. Demand for single-family homes with outdoor space remains strong — particularly for properties that are move-in ready. Inventory in this submarket has been constrained, with competitive offers common on well-priced, updated homes. At a list price of $315,000 and price per square foot near $181, this property sits near local median sale levels but captures premium features (larger lot, recent mechanicals) that support buyer interest. For owner-occupants this is a low-capex purchase; for investors expect stable rentability and decent gross yield given limited new supply in nearby small-town neighborhoods.
Residential single-family use expected; lot size supports single-family and accessory structures subject to county/town setbacks.
