2480 Artz Road

From the moment step through the front door the original bones of this 1949 home have been completely reimagined -- down to the studs -- with nothing cosmetic about it. New flooring stretches through the entire home, guiding you from room to room with a clean, modern feel that somehow still manages to feel warm and welcoming.

The living room draws you in first. A sleek in-wall electric fireplace anchors the space -- the kind of upgrade that makes a cold evening feel like something worth staying home for. Natural light pours through the windows, and the open layout makes it easy to picture your furniture, your people, your life here.

Move into the kitchen and you'll stop. White cabinetry. Marble-look countertops. Stainless steel appliances -- dishwasher, range, refrigerator, all included. Whether you're making a weeknight dinner or hosting a Sunday gathering, this kitchen is ready. A window over the sink looks out to the backyard, because sometimes the best view is the simple one.

The primary bedroom is tucked comfortably at the back of the home -- generous in size, with natural light and a full bath. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, a home office, or guests. Everything clean, everything new, everything done right.

The big-ticket items? Already handled. Brand-new roof. New HVAC. Fully updated electrical and plumbing. This is not a flip dressed up in paint -- this is a full gut renovation with receipts to back it up.

And then there's the land. Step outside onto your .86-acre lot and exhale. Room to garden, room to play, room to just be. No HOA. No restrictions. Just .86 acres of Rowan County peace.

When you're ready to venture out, you're closer than you think to everything Salisbury has to offer -- spend a Saturday at Dan Nicholas Park, take the kids to The Fun Factory, stroll through history at Rowan Museum, catch a show or workshop at Waterworks Visual Art Center, enjoy an afternoon at the stunning Bell Tower Green, or uncork a bottle at nearby Cauble Creek Vineyard.

At $324,900 with 100% USDA financing available, and motivated seller offering $5,000 to help with closing fees or interest rates -- this one makes a whole lot of sense.
