Description

**Back on the market at no fault of seller - Buyer financing fell through.** This charming Spencer home is renovated and ready for a new owner! The covered front porch is inviting and has a nice swing and room for rockers. As you step inside, you'll notice the vintage fireplaces, high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and neutral colors. The front 2 bedrooms are connected by a hallway with a custom cedar plank ceiling that opens up to a flex space perfect for a study, den, office, or an additional bedroom. The spacious kitchen and dining room are updated with white cabinets, granite countertops, open shelving, and accented by matte black finishes. Walking into the primary bedroom will be like walking into a retreat with a vaulted, cedar plank ceiling and a beautifully designed en-suite including a walk-in, tiled shower, a dual vanity, and trendy tile. Conveniently located just a half mile from the N.C. Transportation Museum and Downtown Spencer. Schedule your showing!

    "It’s a nice, older neighborhood but Spencer is known as not such a safe place. I think it’s safer then what people make it out to be, this is the second time I’ve lived here and no one has ever bothered me or my family. The only problem I see is a lot of loud, thumping music late all day and late at night and young people people will walk between houses and all night long down the sidewalks and they’re not quiet about it either.

    "lived there 3 yrs. some yards nice some real trashy, cars fly by, wouldn't let my kids walk alone, neighbors keep to themselves not very outgoing or eager to say good morning if they see you, bus driver has alot to improve on, just not my kind of neighborhood, i like friendly outgoing people, schools are ok for younger ones but as they get older the school system changes, i guess if you dont want to talk to anyone and have no kids, then it isn't too bad."
