About This Property

Two Home, one great price! Step into a piece of Forest City history at 160/164 Arlington Street, where timeless character and endless opportunity come together on one remarkable property. Nestled beneath mature trees in an established neighborhood, this unique estate offers the chance to restore and reimagine a property filled with charm, character, and income producing potential. The main residence is rich with the craftsmanship and architectural details of a historic era and is ready for renovation to bring its full beauty back to life. Original features and historic charm provide the perfect foundation for investors, renovators, or visionaries seeking to create something truly special. With thoughtful restoration, this property could become a stunning private estate, a boutique bed and breakfast, an elegant event retreat, or a nostalgic short term rental destination full of warmth and storybook appeal. Adding even more value and flexibility is the impressive three car garage, workshop, and private two bedroom additional dwelling unit above. Currently operating as a successful income producing Airbnb, this separate living space already offers built in revenue potential while the main residence is restored or reimagined. Ideal for guest accommodations, an in law suite, owners quarters for a bed and breakfast, or continued short or long term rental income, the possibilities are endless. The workshop and garage space also provide room for hobbies, storage, business use, or future customization. Whether envisioned as a profitable income producing property, a multi generational family compound, a charming bed and breakfast with private owners guest house, or a beautifully restored historic estate, the possibilities at Arlington Street are truly endless. This is more than just real estate. It is an opportunity to breathe new life into a historic property while creating lasting value in one of Western North Carolina’s growing communities. Investors, dreamers, and entrepreneurs alike will immediately recognize the rare potential waiting to be unlocked at 160 & 164 Arlington Street.

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.
