OVER AN ACRE IN STARTOWN, A GARDEN AREA, A BRAND-NEW ROOF, AND NO HOA. If you know Startown, you may already know this property. For years, it was home to a local garden business, with birdhouses and garden items advertised right at the neighborhood entrance. Now, the property is ready for its next owner. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,693 square feet with a spacious kitchen, HUGE laundry room, mudroom, living room, and dining area. The front entry opens into the living room, while a second exterior entrance leads into the mudroom. A large breezeway connects the house to the covered back deck, with access from both the laundry room and dining room. Just beyond the breezeway is a separate two-bay garage that has been used as a workshop. It does not currently have dedicated driveway access and was previously accessed through the yard. The home has been modified over the years, including enclosing the original carport to expand the living room and adding the laundry/mudroom area. Portions of the original home are believed to have hardwood floors underneath the existing carpet. And then there's the land. Beyond the house is established garden space with a pump house previously used to water the garden, a separate electrical box/account serving the lower portion of the property, and an existing unpaved driveway cut in from Highway 10 for access toward the lower acreage. Whether you want to bring the garden back, create your own homestead, put the workshop to use, or simply want room to spread out, there's plenty here to work with. And despite the acreage, you're only about 2 minutes from Food Lion, approximately 7 minutes from downtown Newton, and within easy access of Hwy 321 and Hwy 16. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away. A little bit of Startown history, over an acre of land, and plenty of opportunity to make it your own.
