About This Property

BACK ON MARKET - NO FAULT OF SELLERS & PRICED BELOW APPRAISED VALUE!!! Every house tells a story and the story of this quaint farmhouse is worth retelling. Built post-Depression, this circa 1938 "minimal traditional" style home was practical, compact & no-nonsense. Vegetable gardens surrounded the home w/various farm animals kept on the back of the property. The kitchen bustled with activity and was the family's gathering place every Sunday for dinner. As time moved on, the property transferred to family members & become a rental property. Fast forward to a FSBO sign in the yard and we knew we had to buy it. Our goal - transform this adorable home situated on 2.75 acres of level, unrestricted land into a property that could once again be the beloved home for a small homestead, hobby farm, or just folks looking for a little elbow room. The kitchen is totally updated w/flat panel white cabinets, stainless appliances, quartz counters, & subway tile backsplash. Mudroom laundry enclosed w/new windows & electric wall heater to add heated living area. Hexagon tile flooring in both baths w/updated vanities. Current light fixtures, brand new HVAC & new drainfield for 3 bedroom septic. Original hardwood floors refinished w/Duravana hybrid resilient flooring elsewhere. Roof is like new & 10x12 outbuilding w/6' door just delivered! This home is spacious and MOVE-IN READY plus potential opportunity to subdivide for an adjacent building lot. NOTE: Agent is owner & one bedroom does not have a closet.

About the Neighborhood

Homes for sale in 28043 place buyers in Forest City, the Rutherford County seat approximately 65 miles southwest of Charlotte via US-74, a small city defined by its authentic Piedmont character, working industrial heritage, and a residential landscape offering exceptional value in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. The architectural stock blends late Victorian and Craftsman-era bungalows in the established downtown residential neighborhoods with mid-century brick ranches and newer construction on the city's expanding suburban streets. The revitalizing Downtown Forest City corridor along West Main Street anchors the community's commercial identity, while Isothermal Community College provides an educational and cultural anchor for the broader Rutherford County region. Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park — two of Western North Carolina's premier outdoor destinations — are within 30 minutes via scenic US-74A, making 28043 a compelling base for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. The 28043 real estate market delivers some of the most accessible price points in the greater Western Piedmont region, with substantial historic homes and newer construction available at values that remain highly competitive compared to Charlotte's suburban markets.
