2203 Longwood Ave, Sanford, NC 27330

What sets 2203 Longwood Ave apart is the scale of the yard: a level, 1.26-acre parcel surrounding a solid brick ranch that invites both straightforward living and serious imagination. This 1969 brick home delivers nearly 3,000 square feet under one roof — three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a working fireplace and a generous 528 sq. ft. enclosed bonus area that can serve as a home office, playroom, studio, or multigenerational hub.

Step inside and you’ll notice comfortable, lived-in spaces suited to everyday family life. The main level is practical and roomy; a gas heat pump provides central climate control, and a partially finished walk-out basement with its own entrance dramatically expands the property’s possibilities. That lower level is an immediate candidate for an in-law suite or rental unit, especially since the City’s RA zoning supports accessory dwelling use — a meaningful plus for buyers seeking rental income or flexible living arrangements.

Outdoor life is a highlight here. The long driveway and one-car attached garage leave ample room for cars, trailers, or toys; the broad yard has space for future landscaping projects, a workshop, a pool, or simply wide-open play areas. The shingle roof, brick construction, and classic ranch footprint speak to durable, low-maintenance bones, while the interior presents a clear canvas for cosmetic updates and systems work (roof and HVAC should be verified per listing notes).

Location ties everything together: this property sits in Temple Terrace with Downtown Sanford just about two miles away for dining, events, and community life, San-Lee Park three miles out for larger outdoor activities, and Central Carolina Community College 2.5 miles from the front door. With an assessed value that historically sits below market and an estimated market midpoint near $310,000, 2203 Longwood Ave appeals to buyers who want space, flexibility, and a tangible path to add value — whether through modest renovations, an ADU conversion in the walk-out basement, or landscape and outdoor enhancements. Sold as-is and priced with potential in mind, this ranch rewards buyers who can envision the next chapter.

Temple Terrace is a quiet, established residential neighborhood with easy access to Downtown Sanford’s shops, eateries, and community events just two miles away. Residents benefit from nearby recreational options such as San-Lee Park, plus educational institutions including Central Carolina Community College. The area blends suburban lot sizes with a small-town feel: long yards, mature trees, and streets designed for family living. Buyers who appreciate space and proximity to local amenities will find Temple Terrace a practical, community-oriented choice.
