New Ranch-Style 3BR/2BA on a Level 0.18-Acre Lot
This newly built ranch at 810 Long St makes single-story living feel both contemporary and practical. Sited on a level 0.18-acre parcel, the 1,280-square-foot layout places living, dining and kitchen in a single, open plane designed for everyday ease. The builder finished the home with modern systems — central AC, a heat pump, architectural shingle roofing and municipal water and sewer — so utilities and maintenance start simple.
The kitchen anchors the home and opens directly to the dining area, creating a natural gathering spot for family meals or weekend projects. Three bedrooms and two full bathrooms are arranged for privacy and convenience; the compact footprint means less time moving between chores and more time enjoying the spaces that matter. There is no basement or garage, but the wide driveway provides off-street parking for two vehicles and the level yard gives room for gardening, play, or a future patio.
Practical details matter here: R-8 zoning permits single-family use and accessory dwelling units, offering options for rental income, a workshop, or multigenerational planning. Completion is scheduled for spring 2026, and the home is competitively priced at $244,900 — roughly $191 per square foot — aligning with recent new-construction sales nearby.
Location is a quiet, residential stretch of Long Street with strong access to local essentials. Central Elementary sits about one mile away, Albemarle High roughly 1.4 miles, and Downtown Albemarle is an easy 1.5-mile drive when you want restaurants, shops, and community events. Outdoor-minded buyers will appreciate Morrow Mountain State Park just five miles from the front door for hiking, lake access and weekend adventure.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer seeking value, a downsizer wanting single-level convenience, or an investor targeting new construction in a market with rental demand (estimated monthly rent ~$1,500), 810 Long St offers a turn-key, low-maintenance option in a stable Stanly County neighborhood. Note local market conditions favor buyers today, giving room for negotiation while new homes continue to attract attention.

A factual market snapshot around 810 Long St.
Stanly County’s Albemarle market currently leans toward buyers: inventory sits around four months and average days on market are approximately 91, giving buyers time to compare and negotiate. The area’s median sale price is about $292,500, with modest annual appreciation (roughly 3% year-over-year and about 15% over five years). Recent nearby new-construction closings ranged from $241,500 to $260,000 and produced price-per-square-foot outcomes between $181 and $217, placing 810 Long St’s $191/sqft squarely in line with local comps.
New construction remains in demand locally because it minimizes immediate maintenance for buyers and attracts renters who prefer updated systems and layouts. For investors, gross rental yield estimates for comparable 3-bedroom units are around 7.3% (estimated monthly rent of $1,500), which supports buy-and-hold strategies. For owner-occupants, today’s market gives negotiating leverage; for builders and flippers, competitively priced new inventory like this will draw attention once complete. Buyers should monitor reassessment timelines — improvements are not yet assessed and taxes may change after final valuation.
