Updated Brick Ranch on Marshall St — Move-In Ready
On a quiet residential block of Marshall Street in Cheraw’s Big Oak neighborhood sits a brick ranch that balances classic curb appeal with recent, practical updates. The single-story footprint (1,128 sf) gives the home an easy, accessible layout: two bedrooms, a full bath, and a living area that flows to an updated kitchen fitted with new stainless-steel appliances. LVP flooring and fresh interior paint create a clean, contemporary backdrop that will suit first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental.
The kitchen is outfitted with an electric cooktop and oven, built-in microwave and refrigerator — all included — plus the convenience of an in-kitchen laundry area with electric dryer hookup. Climate comfort is handled by an upgraded HVAC system and a heat-pump setup paired with central air for year-round efficiency. Thoughtful mechanical upgrades reduce near-term maintenance and make this a comfortable, economical home to occupy from day one.
Outside, the level 0.18-acre lot opens to a concrete driveway with space for two vehicles. The brick exterior and shingle roof present a tidy, durable package; the property’s low-visibility frontage on Marshall Street contributes to a calm streetscape while keeping downtown amenities within easy reach. There is no attached garage, which emphasizes simple, manageable upkeep for homeowners who prefer a smaller footprint.
Location is a standout: Long Middle School (approximately 0.2 miles), Cheraw Primary (0.4 miles) and Cheraw High (0.5 miles) are all close by, and downtown Cheraw is roughly a mile away for weekend errands, dining and community events. For nature and outdoor options, Cheraw State Park sits about 5 miles from the house. With no HOA fees, recent mechanical and cosmetic improvements, and a sensible lot size, this property offers immediate occupancy, reliable long-term value, and flexibility for a range of buyers.

A factual market snapshot around 802 Marshall St.
Cheraw’s residential market currently reads as balanced to slightly favor sellers in pockets where inventory is lean. The local median sale price is roughly $225,000 and average days on market hover around 45 days; inventory is near 3 months — a classic equilibrium that supports steady demand without rapid short-term price spikes. This single-family ranch is listed at $279,000, which sits above the neighborhood median and above the recent AVM/valuation midpoint ($125K–$135K) for similarly sized 2-bedroom homes. That gap reflects the property’s recent updates and turnkey condition rather than square-footage alone. For buyers, the three-month supply and moderate appreciation (about 5% year-over-year and ~15% over five years) mean choices are available but tasteful, move-in-ready homes still secure interest quickly. Investors should note comparable rentals supporting roughly $1,200/month, making this attractive for a buy-and-hold strategy. For owner-occupants, low carrying costs (no HOA, municipal utilities) and the short commute to local schools and downtown make this a pragmatic purchase in a market where well-maintained small homes are in steady demand.
