for $289,900 with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. This 1,335 square foot home was built in 1992 on a lot size of 0.92.
This ranch-style home offers more space and flexibility than you might expect, living comfortably like a four-bedroom with a versatile flex room with a closet currently used as a fourth bedroom. Recent improvements include a new HVAC system, roof, flooring throughout, Bluetooth ceiling fans, and other thoughtful updates that add comfort and function from day one. Inside, enjoy the ease of one-level living and an open, comfortable feel highlighted by vaulted ceilings in the spacious living room. The primary suite offers its own sense of retreat with a vaulted ceiling, bay window, and private bath filled with natural light. Secondary bedrooms, the flex room, and connected living spaces give you the freedom to create what works for you—whether that's additional sleeping space, a home office, guest room, hobby space, or simply more room for everyday life. Outside is where this property offers something increasingly hard to find: nearly an acre of land, a quiet cul-de-sac setting, and no HOA. The spacious .92-acre lot includes a fenced backyard and two detached storage sheds, giving you plenty of room for gardening, entertaining, lawn equipment, seasonal storage, and hobbies. Large workbenches provide dedicated space for projects and repairs, while well water and septic mean no monthly water or sewer bill. The location adds even more to enjoy. Situated near some of the area's most sought-after schools and approximately 2.6 miles from the new Johnston County Regional Park, you'll have convenient access to pickleball and basketball courts, fishing, walking trails, and more—all while remaining within easy reach of Clayton and surrounding communities. Offered as-is and priced with opportunity in mind, this home combines recent major improvements (paint, flooring, etc.) with the chance to add your own personal finishing touches. Whether you're looking for a primary residence with room to spread out or a property with investment potential, it's a compelling opportunity in a growing area.
