3891 Wilkesboro Hwy

This is a Cape Cod with character—arched interior doorways, original five‑paneled doors, and newly uncovered hardwood floors that reveal the home’s original craftsmanship. Built in 1934, the residence balances vintage detail with clear renovation opportunity: the living room opens into a generous dining area that preserves period proportions, and an intimate, wood‑paneled office with its own private entry offers a practical work‑from‑home setup or a great studio space.

Throughout the main living areas you’ll notice the architectural bones that make older homes so desirable: well‑scaled rooms, substantial trim, and large windows that bring brightness into every corner. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been gutted, which is why this property is best suited for cash buyers or experienced renovators prepared to complete the project. The basement has already had work done to secure the flooring and presents a clean, stabilized environment for storage, mechanicals, or additional finished square footage.

This listing represents a portion of a larger parcel. Buyers who want more land can inquire about an adjacent 1‑acre lot that is also listed for sale—an uncommon chance to expand outdoor options without hunting for a separate parcel. With 1,649 square feet to reimagine, you can keep the home’s vintage soul while installing modern systems and finishes where it counts.

Location is a standout for buyers who want central access to the region: positioned between Charlotte, Boone, Winston‑Salem and Hickory, and a short 10–15 minute drive to Statesville, Wilkesboro or Elkin. That makes it a flexible base for commuters, weekend travelers to the mountains, or investors seeking a property with solid resale potential once renovated. This is a project house with immediate character and tangible upside—perfect for a hands‑on homeowner or an investor comfortable with a gut rehab.
