Tucked into the established Saddlewood neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1590 sq ft home offers a renovated, move-in ready space, with privacy and flexibility that can be hard to find at this price point. Every room and exterior of this home has been tastefully renovated since 2023! Exterior of the home was painted 2024. The first floor features LVP floors (2023), a living room with built-ins surrounding a brick wood-burning fireplace, with french doors opening to a bright, airy sunroom (2024 remodel including new storm windows) overlooking the peaceful backyard. The kitchen features updated butcher block counters & subway tile backsplash (2023). Enjoy breakfast at the beautiful bay window nook for casual dining, painted cabinets, ½ bath, and formal dining room. Don't miss the drop zone, and rare walk-in pantry! Out back is where this property really stands apart. Step onto the spacious rear deck overlooking a private, flat yard that leads to a tree-lined setting with nearly an acre to enjoy. Just off the deck, a renovated detached flex space (2023), currently used as a work/art studio, offers endless possibilities for a creative space, home office, hobby room, or workout area. The two-car garage connects to the home by a covered breezeway, adding convenience along with valuable parking, storage and workspace. Upstairs, the primary suite with en-suite double vanity bathroom (2025) features a cathedral ceiling, two primary closets (one walk-in), and beautiful tiled shower/bath combo with modern brush gold faucets. Two additional bedrooms with ample closet space and a renovated full bath (2024) round out this functional space. From the first day you move in, enjoy slow mornings in the sunroom, dinner outside on the deck, rocking chairs on the covered front porch, and weekends spent at the firepit in your backyard. Mature surroundings and generous outdoor space give the property a sense of separation while still being part of an established neighborhood. Enjoy that privacy while remaining convenient to everyday shopping, dining and recreation, with Crowders Mountain State Park and growing Downtown Gastonia all within easy reach.
