1930 Single-Story 2BR on .19-Acre Lot — Ideal Investment
This single-story home at 2355 Myrtle Ave presents a clear investment proposition: a compact, functional 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout in 788 square feet sitting on a larger-than-typical 0.19-acre lot. Built in 1930, the house retains a straightforward footprint ideal for a targeted renovation — fresh finishes, updated kitchen and bath, and mechanical refreshes would materially increase market appeal. The property includes central heat and air, a dedicated laundry room, and an electric range; parking is via driveway (no garage).
The lot is a standout feature for the price point — deep yard space provides room for an outdoor living area, storage building, or potential accessory structure subject to permitting. For investors, this creates multiple value-add paths: light rehab and rent, moderate rehab and resale to first-time buyers, or explore lot-based enhancements to increase net operating income.
Location is practical for both local tenants and commuters. Downtown Gastonia’s shops and restaurants are a short drive away, and regional connections to I-85 bring Charlotte within routine commuting distance. The immediate block contains several other investment and renovated properties, reflecting active buyer interest at this entry-level segment of the market.
Priced at $100,000, the offering is positioned to move quickly for buyers seeking a value-add opportunity. Bring contractors, bring creativity, and bring offers — this home rewards decisive buyers who can execute a targeted renovation or lease-up strategy.

A factual market snapshot around 2355 Myrtle Ave.
Gastonia sits inside the Charlotte MSA and offers more affordable entry points than the core city. In 2026 the local market shows modest appreciation (single-digit yearly increases) while demand remains strong at lower price tiers. Properties under $200k typically attract investors and first-time buyers, producing shorter marketing times when priced and presented well. Inventory in many Gastonia neighborhoods is lean; a renovated 2-bed in this price band can lease quickly or resell to local buyers. For buyers focused on yield, expected gross rents near $850–$1,050/month deliver attractive preliminary annual yields; for flippers, modest upgrades frequently return capital in this submarket. Confirm comps and scope with a local MLS search before finalizing acquisition strategy.
