Brick ranch on a half-acre lot, no HOA, single-level living, two living areas. If you’ve been looking at new construction on small lots and wishing for more room to breathe, this one-story brick ranch in established Forest Hills deserves a closer look. Just imagine evenings in a rocking chair on the front porch, or morning coffee on the back deck overlooking a big backyard framed by mature trees, complete with its own footbridge. Inside, the updated kitchen has crisp white cabinets, a stainless range and hood, tall pantry cabinets with pull-out shelves, and an eat-in dining area that opens to the sunny living room, so the cook never misses out. The good news is, this home gives you two places to spread out. The living room sits at the heart of the home with the kitchen and dining area, while the family room is a separate space with its own half bath, perfect for guests, an office or movie nights, with the laundry room and one-car garage right there too. On the other side of the home, three bedrooms share a full bath with a tub. Crown molding and luxury vinyl plank flooring carry through the main living areas. A covered brick patio, extra driveway parking and side-yard access from the laundry room round it out. And with no HOA, the half acre is yours to enjoy your way. Most people expect to give up yard space to get an updated home in this price range. This one lets you have both. Then there's Lancaster. The Red Rose City has a downtown arts district, the Lindsay Pettus Greenway for walks, and Andrew Jackson State Park a short drive north for hiking and fishing. You're about an hour from both Charlotte and Columbia, so you get small-town Southern charm with big-city options within reach. Big-ticket peace of mind: the roof was installed in 2021 and the ductwork under the home was replaced in 2023, per seller disclosure. Cash, conventional, FHA, USDA, and VA buyers welcome. Imagine your first fall evening here, then come see it before someone else does.
