Great Bethlehem location just up the road from Lake Hickory's Wittenburg Access Area! This brick ranch on a corner lot—with two driveways, two garages, fenced back yard & a full basement—has "good bones" but needs some updating. Put your own style into this home and make it just how you want it. The main level offers an oversized single garage, a screened porch, a large living room with a fireplace & a spacious kitchen & dining area. Two bedrooms were opened up and made into one big primary bedroom, but it could easily be returned to two bedrooms by putting the wall back up (some of the carpet has been pulled up but not replaced). Currently, the room is large enough for a bedroom space plus a seating area that leads to the primary ensuite bathroom . There is another BR on the main level plus a full BA. In the basement, you'll find a large den with another fireplace, office, flex room with a closet (no window), a laundry room, & a single garage with its own driveway. The basement is unheated because the old electric baseboard heating no longer works. The sellers inherited this property and estimate the roof age is approx 2016 and the heat pump age approx 2017.
