Property Description

Now offered at $409,900 — 2.51 acres of space and privacy just minutes from downtown Forest City. If you have been searching for a home that offers room to breathe without giving up convenience, this property delivers the best of both worlds. Situated on 2.51 acres within the established Padgett-Burns community, this thoughtfully designed three-level home provides flexibility, privacy, and the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living in a peaceful setting. Inside, the main level offers a welcoming living room centered around a striking fireplace, creating a comfortable space to gather and relax. The adjoining dining area opens to the rear deck, while the kitchen provides generous cabinetry and functional workspace for everyday living. A dedicated office (13'2" x 17'7") on the main level is ideal for remote work, creative space, or an additional sitting room. The nearby laundry/mudroom connects conveniently to the attached garage. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat with dual closets and a tiled shower, while two additional bedrooms are arranged along an open-to-below hallway that enhances natural light and architectural character. A shared bathroom with private access from the secondary bedrooms adds everyday practicality. The outdoor spaces truly define this property. An expansive screened porch (approximately 13' x 23') extends the living area and creates a comfortable place to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Above, a nearly 40-foot rear balcony overlooks the property and offers a quiet place to start the morning or unwind at the end of the day. The walk-out lower level, which already includes a half bath and exterior access, provides significant potential for future finishing, recreation space, or flexible multi-purpose living. The homesite itself offers the best of both worlds with approximately one acre cleared and the remaining acreage wooded, providing usable outdoor space while maintaining natural privacy. Additional features include: • Semi-circular driveway providing ample parking for guests • Attached garage with direct interior access • Established residential setting in Rutherford County • Community water service approximately $360 annually ($90 quarterly for 2026) Homes offering acreage, privacy, and flexible living space while remaining close to town amenities are becoming increasingly rare. This property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy both space and convenience in one location.
