404 Huffman St, Morganton, NC, 28655

Perched on a gentle rise above Huffman Street, this 1930-built residence announces itself with an inviting front porch swing and old-world proportions. At 2,043 finished square feet the house balances generous room sizes with everyday practicality: three bedrooms occupy the upper level while a convenient fourth bedroom sits on the main floor adjacent to a half bath—an arrangement that works perfectly for a home office, guest suite, or multi-generational living.

Inside, you’ll find the kind of period bones that reward thoughtful updating—high ceilings, defined rooms, and the scale of an earlier century. The current layout offers living and dining spaces sized for family gatherings, plus an in-unit laundry for day-to-day convenience. Mechanical and cosmetic upgrades are not specified; the property’s condition and opportunities for personalization become a key part of its appeal for buyers who want to add contemporary comforts while preserving character.

The private, closed-in courtyard behind the house creates an intimate entertaining area and a secure play space—rare for centrally located homes of this vintage. The elevated lot provides a pleasant sense of separation from the street and frames longer-range neighborhood views. Outdoor living is anchored by the front porch and the sheltered rear courtyard, giving you options for morning coffee, evening conversations, or al fresco dinners.

Offered at $229,000—exactly at the Redfin-derived valuation midpoint—this home presents a clear value proposition for renovators and owner-occupants who appreciate historic charm with room to modernize. With four bedrooms and 1.5 baths, the layout lends itself to multiple configurations depending on how you want to live. Bring your ideas and plans: this property is ready for a new owner to make it their own.
