This solid all-brick ranch, built in 1972, sits on a generous .35-acre lot and offers a straightforward, single-level layout with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths across 1,475 finished square feet. The exterior’s durable brick shell provides a stable baseline; inside, the floorplan is functional and original-period finishes await a buyer ready to modernize. The listing is intentionally priced at $230,000 to reflect the need for cosmetic and systems updates — a clear opening for an owner-occupant or investor to add immediate value.
Step inside to a sensible plan that separates living and sleeping areas (photos show roomy common areas and well-proportioned bedrooms). The footprint lends itself to a refreshed kitchen and bath(s) that can unlock substantial market upside in this price tier. Outside, the large, level yard is a standout feature for the neighborhood: gardens, a play area, or an outdoor entertaining setup will all fit comfortably. Mature trees and a broad lawn create privacy and utility that's harder to find at this price point.
Practical considerations: the property has no recorded attached garage, so buyers who need covered parking should budget accordingly. Mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic systems are likely original or aging; include inspection contingency and contractor bids in your offer strategy. For buyers seeking a quick turnaround, a targeted cosmetic renovation (kitchen surfaces, baths, flooring, paint) could produce meaningful equity; for long-term owners, a phased upgrade of systems and finishes will create a comfortable, single-story home on a enviable lot.
Located in Gastonia within commuting range of Charlotte, the house offers access to regional employment centers while retaining a more affordable local cost structure.
