Sprawling ranch-style charm meets modern updates in this beautifully refreshed 1948 home, ideally situated on a corner lot in a quiet residential pocket of Kinston. Though just under 1,800 square feet, the home lives large thanks to its thoughtful layout and abundant natural light streaming through oversized windows throughout. A charming circular drive leads to a side-entry carport--partially covered in classic mid-century fashion--and into a delightful sunroom featuring vintage jalousie windows that create a light-filled, glass-lined feel with peaceful views of the surrounding neighborhood. This inviting space perfectly captures the character and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Inside, the home offers four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including two full bathrooms--both with double vanities--featuring brand-new shower enclosures and fixtures. The half bath is thoughtfully designed as a Jack-and-Jill, connecting two bedrooms and offering ideal flexibility for a guest suite, office, or multi-use space. The completely renovated kitchen showcases white mission-style cabinetry with soft-close drawers, granite countertops, and modern finishes. Just off the kitchen is a large dedicated laundry room with ample space to double as a walk-in pantry or additional storage. Additional updates include all-new bathroom cabinetry, modern light fixtures and hardware throughout, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the common areas, plush new carpet in the bedrooms, and fresh paint throughout. Behind the scenes, the home is fully rewired, features new plumbing, and includes added insulation in the attic--providing comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind. All relevant improvements have been permitted. The flexible floor plan is enhanced by four exterior doors, including a primary suite with double doors that could easily lead to a future private patio space. The covered back porch provides protected entry--no standing in the rain fumbling for keys--and adds everyday convenience and charm. Outside, mature landscaping and established trees frame the property, complemented by freshly painted trim and shutters and a new exterior door. Major system upgrades include a new roof, newer HVAC system (2021), new windows, and a new hot water heater. This well-built, character-rich home blends timeless design with comprehensive modern updates, offering space, flexibility, and comfort on a lovely tree-lined street in an established residential setting.
