About the property

Spacious 5-Bedroom Brick Home with Main-Level Owner’s Suite

A commanding brick façade and wide covered porch introduce 5236 Spreading Branch Road — a two-story, 3,487-square-foot residence in Fox Meadow designed for everyday family life and entertaining. Inside, the home delivers distinct living zones: a formal living and dining room for gatherings, a generous great room anchored by a fireplace, plus a bonus room that adapts easily to a home office, playroom, or media space. The feel throughout is comfortable and well-maintained, with multiple options for privacy and shared time.

The owner's suite is thoughtfully placed on the main level and is a standout: dual walk-in closets, a jetted tub, double vanities, and an updated tiled shower combine to create a roomy primary retreat. The kitchen was recently refreshed with brand-new quartz countertops and includes bar seating adjacent to an eat-in dining area — a practical layout for busy mornings and casual dinner service. Practical updates like central AC, a heat pump, and solid shingle roofing support easy living year-round.

Outdoor life extends the home's usable square footage: step out from the great room to a screened-in porch and a newer deck that look over a level 0.28-acre lot. Two oversized storage sheds and an extended concrete driveway provide exceptional storage and parking options (room for up to five vehicles in addition to the attached two-car garage). The lot's frontage on Spreading Branch Road gives an open, maintained streetscape while preserving a private rear yard.

Location is a core asset here. Fox Meadow places you within walking distance of the schools — South View High, South View Middle, and Ed V Baldwin Elementary — and close to Hope Mills Lake (about 1.5 miles) and Hope Mills Municipal Park (about 1.2 miles). Whether you're a buyer seeking move-in-ready comfort, a family valuing proximate schools and parks, or an investor attracted to flexible rental demand in the area, this property’s combination of recent upgrades, generous footprint, and convenient lot make it a memorable find in Hope Mills.

This home's estimated market value centers near $435,000 (≈$125/sqft), reflecting size, condition, and the recent kitchen and primary-bath upgrades. Single-family homes in Fox Meadow remain in steady demand, particularly from families drawn to nearby schools and recreational amenities; rental demand has also been strong, supported by a recent rent listing at $3,100/month for this address. Appreciation trends show moderate growth — about 5% year-over-year and 20% over five years — signaling a stable neighborhood where pricing discipline and well-presented homes capture buyer interest. For buyers, current low inventory means competitive offers may be required for well-priced homes; for sellers, the market environment supports marketing confidently around recent improvements and space for families.
