Built in 1940 and located in Gastonia's historic Brookwood neighborhood, this beautifully maintained brick home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. Original hardwood floors, the original cast iron bathtub, operable wood windows, and classic architectural details preserve the home's historic charm while the kitchen has been thoughtfully updated to include premium stainless steel appliances. History lovers will appreciate that original doors, cabinetry, and other architectural elements from the home have been preserved in the basement, offering the opportunity to reinstall or repurpose these pieces. The main level offers approximately 1,430 square feet of living space with two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, an inviting living room with a ventless gas fireplace, separate dining room, updated kitchen, and a versatile flex room that could serve as an office, library, sitting room, or additional living space.A rare full unfinished basement provides exceptional storage, workshop, hobby, or future expansion potential. The basement features new insulation, interior and exterior access, and exposed brick walls where the sellers began uncovering the original brick as part of a planned renovation. Outside, enjoy the covered side porch overlooking the backyard complete with a fire pit area and an elevated playhouse featuring a wraparound deck, swings, and slide. The widened driveway provides convenient turnaround space and room for multiple vehicles.
