Move‑In Ready 3BR/2BA Ranch on .37‑Acre Lot — Built 2022
This well-appointed ranch, completed in 2022, delivers modern one-level living and an unusually generous yard for China Grove. With 1,360 square feet, the home features a smart split-bedroom plan: a comfortable primary suite on one side and two flexible bedrooms on the other — ideal for a home office, hobbies, or guests. The main living space flows directly to the kitchen, which is finished with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and durable luxury vinyl plank flooring that extends through the high-traffic areas.
Practical details matter here: the layout makes day-to-day life easy, storage is thoughtfully arranged, and the finishes are neutral and contemporary so you can move right in without immediate updates. The home sits on a level 0.37-acre lot that provides privacy and room to expand outdoor living — perfect for gardening, play, or adding a future outbuilding (subject to local code).
Location is a standout: positioned on a quiet residential street with quick access to I‑85, this property offers a calm setting with fast regional connections to Kannapolis, Concord, and Charlotte. Local conveniences — grocery, dining, and schools — are minutes away, but the house still delivers that slightly rural feel thanks to the larger lot and open backyard.
Whether you’re an owner-occupier seeking a low-maintenance newer home or an investor looking for a turnkey rental in a commuter-friendly market, 648 E Ketchie St is move-in ready and competitively priced. Schedule a showing to see the finishes and feel the scale of the yard in person.

A factual market snapshot around 648 E Ketchie St.
China Grove sits on the outer edge of the Charlotte MSA and continues to attract buyers priced out of Concord and Charlotte proper. As of early 2026, southern Rowan County shows steady demand for single-family homes under $350k. Inventory remains relatively tight compared with pre-pandemic levels, and homes with modern finishes and larger yards — like this one — move quicker than entry-level listings. Median sale prices in the area sit modestly below the Charlotte suburban average, providing opportunity for buyers seeking value with commuter convenience. For sellers, well-priced turnkey homes are still generating interest within weeks; buyers should be prepared with pre-approval to be competitive.
Typical single-family residential zoning under town/county code; parcel appears to be zoned for single-family detached dwellings.
