Tucked beneath mature trees in an established Kannapolis neighborhood, this hard-to-find ranch with a basement offers the comfort of one-story living, unexpected space, and a backyard that feels like a private retreat. Begin your mornings on the screened porch before stepping inside, where natural light fills the inviting living room, and durable LVP flooring flows through much of the home. A formal dining room provides a welcoming setting for gatherings, while the kitchen features quartz countertops, abundant cabinetry, a newer dishwasher, and additional pantry cabinets for extra storage. The refrigerator, washer, and dryer also remain, making the transition even easier. The main level includes a comfortable primary suite with an updated private bath, two spacious secondary bedrooms, an additional updated bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room. Downstairs, the unfinished basement offers plenty of room for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future recreation space. Outside, the expansive fenced backyard overlooks a wooded backdrop and offers space to entertain, garden, play, or simply unwind. The patio, storage sheds, and as-is carport provide even more functionality. With no HOA and a convenient location near downtown Kannapolis, Village Park, schools, shopping, dining, the Cannon Ballers ballpark, the North Carolina Research Campus, and I-85, this home offers a peaceful setting without sacrificing easy access to everything nearby.
