If these walls could talk... Built in 1965 and used for decades as a parsonage for the nearby church, this brick ranch has spent its life as a welcoming hub for fellowship and community. Most recently used as a private residence, this well-maintained 3b/2ba, 1,919-square-foot rambling ranch lives large, with generous rooms and easy flow. To accommodate its growing needs, the church expanded the house, including a larger kitchen designed to add an island with seating and more prep space, an ample laundry room with a utility sink, a counter for laundry or home projects, and plenty of storage. Their original office space offers a flex room that can be used as a den, play room, or a home business-with its own separate entrance. Energy-saving solar panels added in 2023, an encapsulated crawlspace, and double hung, low-e windows allow the house to operate efficiently. A two-car garage also includes a sizable workshop space, and extra turnaround parking allows easy access to the main road. The flat, sunny backyard is perfect for gardening, pet zoomies, and relaxed entertaining. And the stunning sunsets from the deep covered front porch provide year-round opportunities for marveling at North Carolina's natural beauty. Just 10 minutes from downtown, 3106 Orange Grove Road offers a coveted combination of privacy and proximity, solid construction and modern updates, and spaces for solitude and celebrations.
