What sets this property apart is the combination of modern renovation and genuine country acreage — a fully rebuilt interior sitting on a peaceful one-acre parcel with expansive front-porch sunset views. The renovation was comprehensive: beginning in 2019 and completed with permits, the interior was lifted down to joists and subfloor in many areas and rebuilt with new windows, roof, recessed lighting, solid wood doors and contemporary finishes while leaving the original exterior brick walls that anchor the home’s character.
Step into an open floor plan where living, dining and a chef-forward kitchen flow together. A teakwood accent wall provides a warm focal point opposite butcher-block counter space designed for casual bar seating and entertaining. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with a tiled backsplash, designer-tiled floors, modern open shelving and a wine cooler — the refrigerator, stove and a new, never-used dishwasher are included. The seller will install the new kitchen sink before closing.
Three bedrooms provide flexible layouts for family, guests or a dedicated home office. The hall bath features a fully tiled walk-in shower with a rain shower head and double sinks; the primary en-suite offers a porcelain-tiled shower/tub combination with built-in storage and another set of designer double sinks. A large laundry room adds practical storage. Mechanical updates include whole-home plumbing (pipe-in ready for a pot filler), new electrical with GFCI protection and an extra 100-amp sub-panel in the laundry room — ideal if you plan a future pool or hot tub. The water heater is roughly two years old and the septic was pumped in 2025.
Outside, the property lives like a country retreat: a front deck for sunsets, a large fenced backyard, an attached carport, a storage shed that will contain leftover flooring and tile for future projects, and a 30' x 32' concrete pad ready for a workshop, RV or garage. Located in Roper with no city taxes and about an hour’s drive to Outer Banks beaches, this home offers move-in readiness and long-term value. Sellers will finish a few final touches prior to closing; otherwise the home is being sold as-is and priced confidently below appraisal — a rare fully renovated offering on a full acre in this market.
Roper offers a genuine rural lifestyle with wide skies, country roads and the quiet that attracts buyers looking to escape busier coastal towns. Residents enjoy easy access to regional services in nearby small towns, while the Outer Banks are roughly an hour away for beach days and coastal recreation. The community’s low tax environment and one-acre properties are attractive to those seeking space for gardening, outbuildings or outdoor hobbies. Local flavors include small-town general stores, seasonal farmers markets, and easy access to regional waterways for fishing and boating.
This listing arrives at a competitive price point for the area. The broker list price of $196,500 sits squarely near the estimated valuation midpoint for this property type, presenting a value opportunity for buyers seeking turnkey homes on acreage in rural eastern North Carolina. Locally, fully renovated single-family homes with usable lots tend to attract owner-occupant buyers and second-home seekers who prize low taxes and proximity to the coast; that demand often narrows inventory for move-in-ready country properties. While broader regional appreciation has been moderate, homes that combine extensive permitted renovations with practical upgrades (new plumbing, electrical, roof and added sub-panel capacity) move more quickly than average listings. For a buyer, this is a moment to act: competitively priced renovated homes on a full acre are uncommon in small-town markets, and this property’s combination of systems upgrades, included appliances and added site improvements (30x32 pad, fenced yard, shed) reduces near-term capital expense.
Good coastal access with the Outer Banks about an hour away; local fishing, boating and open-country recreation nearby, plus on-site space for gardening, yard sports and outdoor projects.
