Community: Morganton in Burke County
This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home on 1.21 acres sits between Morganton and Valdese, offering ample outdoor space that could accommodate a garden or pool after renovation. While described as having sturdy construction and “good bones,” the property has been vacant for years and will require substantial updates to the mechanical systems and cosmetic finishes. A March 2026 appraisal provides a value benchmark, and the recent installation of a new 200-amp electrical panel adds a favorable modernization upgrade. There's also a well on the property to water your garden. The well will require repairs. With the seller open to all offers, this represents a potential sweat-equity opportunity for buyers prepared to invest financially and navigate the repair process. Take a look to see if you could rehab this home.
