All-Brick Ranch on 1.68 Acres with Workshop
This solid all-brick ranch at 2241 Cordia Cir sits on a rare, private 1.68-acre lot in the Barringer Woods area and offers comfortable one-level living with versatility. At roughly 2,331 finished square feet the home is permitted for two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, plus an additional room that functions easily as a home office, studio, guest room, or potential third bedroom with modest updates.
Attention-grabbing features include the expansive brick patio that opens to a treed backyard — a great space for weekend gatherings, grilling, or a quiet spot to stretch out. The property’s second attached garage is configured as a workshop/utility space, ideal for hobbies, woodworking, car projects, or extra storage, and adds meaningful utility beyond a standard two-car footprint. A paved driveway provides ample guest parking in front of the home.
Interior living areas are generous for a ranch plan, with sightlines and flow that support both everyday living and entertaining. The floorplan emphasizes single-story convenience while the size of the home gives distinct living and private spaces. Buyers seeking low-exterior maintenance will appreciate the brick construction and mature tree canopy that buffers the house from neighbors.
Located minutes from downtown Newton and within easy driving distance of Hickory, this property marries country-like privacy with access to local shopping, dining, and services. Offered at $515,000, this listing is a compelling option for downsizers, buyers in need of workspace at home, or anyone looking for a substantial private lot close to regional amenities.

A factual market snapshot around 2241 Cordia Cir.
Newton and the greater Catawba County market have shown steady demand for single-family homes on larger lots. Inventory for 1+ acre parcels is limited, which tends to support values for properties like this one. Median area sale prices are lower than this list price—reflecting a general market in which homes with acreage and specialized features command a premium. Expect a moderate-to-competitive market: well-priced, turn-key homes in this corridor typically sell within 30–45 days when condition and systems are sound. This listing’s brick construction, workshop space, and large lot position it well if marketed to owner-occupiers and hobbyists who value privacy and functionality.
Typical single-family residential zoning for Barringer Woods; lot size (1.68 acres) suggests low-density residential allowed. Accessory structures and home occupations commonly permitted under county rules.
