Back on the market after the previous contract ended for reasons unrelated to the property, this beautifully remodeled downtown Rutherfordton bungalow presents an exceptional opportunity to own a move-in-ready home at an approachable price point. The home successfully appraised during the prior transaction, and requested repairs were completed. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom, the two-bedroom, one-bath home combines character and modern updates with vaulted exposed-beam ceilings, a fireplace, luxury vinyl plank flooring, solid-surface countertops, custom cabinetry, designer finishes, dedicated laundry room and major system upgrades including plumbing, electrical, windows, HVAC, gutters, stucco siding and a metal roof. Directly across from Kiwanis Park and the Purple Martin Greenway, the property offers immediate access to trails, green space, playgrounds,and a dog park, while downtown restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, live music, local events and everyday conveniences are just a short distance away. In a market where accessible homes are increasingly difficult to find, this property offers the opportunity to enjoy a connected, low-maintenance lifestyle with many daily destinations reachable without getting in the car, along with the confidence of extensive renovations and the long-term value of a growing Western North Carolina downtown.
