Turnkey 3BR/2BA Ranch on a Spacious Cul‑de‑Sac Lot
What sets 710 Haskett Ct apart is the quiet cul‑de‑sac setting and a generously sized 0.39‑acre lot that immediately expands the feeling of space around this single‑story ranch. Built in 2023 and still showing like new, the home offers 1,257 square feet arranged for easy everyday living — three bedrooms, two full baths, and a primary suite with a walk‑in closet.
Inside, finishes reflect recent construction standards: granite countertops and stainless‑steel appliances anchor the kitchen, while central air and electric heat keep the interior comfortable year‑round. The composition roof and low‑maintenance vinyl siding mean minimal exterior upkeep in the near term. A one‑car attached garage plus driveway parking for two provides practical vehicle access from Haskett Ct.
The layout reads efficiently; rooms feel purposeful and the primary suite is a clear highlight for buyers seeking single‑level convenience. Condition is listed as excellent, so you’ll avoid the immediate repairs or renovation cycles that come with older inventory. With a footprint this size, the plan lives larger than its square footage — ideal for first‑time buyers, downsizers, or investors aiming for strong rental demand in Kinston.
Outdoors, the level lot invites possibilities: add a patio for weekend barbecues, landscape a pollinator garden, or create a play area without losing yard space. Pine Forest Estates is residential and peaceful, yet the home remains minutes from practical anchors: Lenoir Memorial Hospital (about 2.5 miles), Neuseway Nature Park (approximately 3 miles), and Kinston High School (about 1.5 miles). Those conveniences make this property appealing for healthcare workers, families and anyone who values proximity to everyday services.
This home sold new in December 2023 for $229,900 (roughly $183/SF) and sits within a pocket where recent new‑build comps have closed in the low‑to‑mid $220Ks. That context — combined with the move‑in ready condition and sizable lot — positions 710 Haskett Ct as a practical, low‑maintenance opportunity in a market where buyers can still find value. Schedule a tour to experience the single‑level ease and yard space in person; the home is ready for immediate occupancy and future personalization.

A factual market snapshot around 710 Haskett Ct.
Kinston’s market currently favors buyers, with roughly 3.5 months of inventory and an average days on market near 60. Median sale prices for the broader area sit near $170,000, but this pocket shows higher values for new construction: recent nearby closings on comparable 3‑bed ranches recorded sale prices around $225K–$230K and price per square foot near $180–$183. One‑year appreciation is modest (about 4%), while five‑year appreciation has been stronger (around 15%). Single‑family ranch homes like 710 Haskett Ct perform well relative to the local median because they combine low maintenance and turnkey finishes attractive to first‑time buyers and downsizers. Inventory is moderate and new construction demand remains steady, which creates a window for buyers to secure a well‑priced, move‑in ready asset; sellers should be mindful that buyer leverage exists, so pricing and marketing need to reflect current days‑on‑market dynamics. Rental demand in the area is moderate — market rent comps and an estimated monthly rent near $1,400 suggest gross yields in the 7% range if considering income use.
