Renovated Brick Ranch with Large Yard Near Downtown Conway
This one-story brick ranch at 902 Forest Loop Rd stands out for its practical layout and a backyard that invites weekend projects, gardening, or simple relaxation. Updated inside and out, the home offers 1,300 square feet of living space with three comfortable bedrooms and a thoughtfully refreshed 1.5-bath plan. New flooring flows through the main rooms and fresh paint inside and out gives the house a clean, contemporary feel without losing its classic ranch character.
The updated kitchen is a focal point — modern finishes, efficient layout, and thoughtful touches that make everyday routines easier. Living areas are sized for family gatherings and daily life, while the primary bedroom and secondary bedrooms provide practical closet space and easy access to the renovated bath. A covered front porch and level .23-acre lot (approximately 10,019 SF) expand the usable footprint, offering room for entertaining, future landscaping improvements, or an addition subject to local zoning.
Practical features include central air conditioning, public water and sewer, and driveway parking for up to four vehicles. There’s no attached garage but the wide driveway and level site make vehicle access and exterior projects straightforward. The property’s brick exterior is low-maintenance and the asphalt shingle roof conforms to the neighborhood’s established aesthetic.
Forest Acres places this home within easy reach of Conway’s attractions: downtown Conway’s shops and restaurants are about 1.5 miles away, the Waccamaw River is nearby for paddling and riverside walks, and Coastal Carolina University sits roughly 3.5 miles from the house. With no HOA restrictions, buyers have flexibility for future improvements. Buyers should note the home was built in 1985; recommended due diligence includes inspection of major systems and a review of flood zone status due to proximity to the Waccamaw River.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer seeking turnkey value, a family wanting single-level living close to town, or an investor attracted by steady rental demand in Conway, this renovated ranch delivers immediate usability and long-term potential.
