About the property

Marshville 2-Bed with Large Powered Workshop on .25 Acre

Step into a practical in-town opportunity at 602 Ross St — a one‑story, easy‑to‑maintain home offering 2 bedrooms and 1 bath across 966 square feet, sited on a generous quarter‑acre lot. The compact main house is comfortable and functional with central air and a heat pump, an attached carport for covered parking, and a small mud room/laundry area. The real headline here is the on‑site, fully powered workshop with its own electrical service and two additional bathrooms — an exceptionally flexible space for woodworking, an auto hobbyist, a contractor, or conversion to a business support space (subject to permits).

Built in 1944, the house presents a solid canvas for targeted updates: fresh paint, modern appliances in the kitchen, and modest bathroom upgrades will substantially raise market appeal and $/SF. The combination of a small footprint and a large, usable outbuilding is uncommon in this market — buyers who value a realized workspace will find immediate utility. The lot provides private outdoor space and room to park equipment or trailers behind the house, making it useful for tradespeople or hobbyists.

Location is a practical Marshville advantage: you’re steps from downtown services and community amenities, and within reasonable driving distance of Monroe and the larger Charlotte employment centers. The property has municipal water and sewer and shows an active listing with recent photographs. Whether you’re looking for a simple owner‑occupied residence with an exceptional workshop or an investor seeking a value-add flip or rental, 602 Ross St presents a distinctly useful combination of home and workspace.

Schedule a showing to walk the property and the workshop. Important buyer verifications: confirm workshop permits and capacity, complete a full inspection, and review the recent price history — this listing has been active with pricing updates. Sellers are presenting the property at $260,000.

Editorial market perspective

Marshville and Union County occupy a transitional position between smaller town markets and the fast‑growing Charlotte metro. Over the past five years Union County has generally appreciated faster than state averages, although smaller towns like Marshville move more deliberately. Inventory levels in the submarket have tightened compared with a few years ago, so well‑priced, unique properties receive prompt attention. For this asset, the powered workshop adds a premium relative to other sub-$300k homes with similar living area. Expect buyer interest to come from tradespeople, first‑time buyers seeking affordability, and investors looking for short-term cosmetic upside. Median sale prices in nearby Union County neighborhoods commonly sit in the mid-$200ks to low-$300ks range; this list price of $260,000 positions the property competitively, particularly for purchasers who value the workshop.
