Vaulted Ranch on .35-Acre Lot with Spacious Fenced Yard
Walk through the front door and the vaulted living room immediately announces itself — tall ceilings, warm hardwood underfoot and a gas-log fireplace that anchors everyday life and weekend gatherings. This one-story ranch, built in 1999, occupies a generous 0.35-acre, level lot and delivers a practical, comfortable layout: three bedrooms, two full baths and about 1,120 square feet laid out for easy living.
The interior shows solid bones and well-maintained systems: hardwood floors through primary living spaces, a gas forced-air heating system paired with central AC, and an asphalt shingle roof. The living room ceiling gives a sense of space that carries into the adjacent dining area and kitchen, making the house feel larger than its footprint. Bedrooms are efficiently sized and the dual-bath setup is convenient for family or guests.
Outside is where this property stands apart. The large, fully fenced backyard is ideal for kids, pets, gardening or adding a future deck or patio. The level topography makes yard projects straightforward and the driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles. With no garage to maintain, yard and landscape possibilities are abundant on this deep lot.
Location is quietly valuable here: approximately one mile to downtown Graham for local restaurants, services and community events, two miles from Graham Regional Park, and roughly five miles to Alamance Crossing shopping. The home sits in a stable residential block within the Alamance-Burlington School System (North Graham Elementary, Graham Middle, Graham High). For investors, rental demand in the area supports an estimated rent of about $1,500/month; for owner-occupants, the property offers entry-level access to a steady market with room to add personal upgrades and instant curb appeal.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer looking to trade rent for equity or an investor seeking a low-maintenance single-story asset, 435 Shoffner St. blends practical systems, a standout yard and a convenient Graham location. Buyers should confirm lot boundaries and have major systems and appliances inspected; recent market comparisons suggest strong value at the listed estimate.

A factual market snapshot around 435 Shoffner St.
Local market conditions in Graham are balanced with indicators of steady demand rather than frenzied bidding. Inventory sits around 3.5 months — a neutral-to-slightly-leaning-seller level — and homes in this corridor average about 62 days on market (roughly two months). Median sale price in the broader area is approximately $297,000, but single-family ranches and modest homes in central Graham commonly trade in the $210K–$230K range, matching recent nearby comps at 431 and 413 Shoffner St that sold in the $225K range. Year-over-year appreciation is modest (≈2.5% over the past 12 months) with a healthier five-year run (~15%), suggesting steady long-term value growth rather than rapid spikes.
For this 3BR/2BA ranch, comparable sales and the home’s usable .35-acre lot support the $220,000 estimate. Single-family homes of this size remain attractive to first-time buyers and small families; they also perform well for buy-and-hold investors because of stable rental demand—local rent comps point to roughly $1,400–$1,500/month and an estimated gross yield around 8.2%. With a balanced market and moderate appreciation, now is a sensible time for buyers seeking predictable value growth or investors targeting consistent cashflow in the Graham submarket.
