About this House

Completely renovated 2 Bed/1 Bath home. This cozy cottage boasts new vinyl siding, new paint, new flooring, new double pane insulated windows, new light fixtures, new HVAC, new deck/railings on back porch. Roof is only 4 years old, and the electric Water Heater is only 2 years old. The mature trees in the front offer shade over the yard, and the backyard has two young peach trees that are already bearing fruit.

    "Dogs are welcome. However there is a limit of 4 and it’s difficult to get the HSA to allow a fence without large gaps (which may be difficult for owners with small dogs) I have small dogs and we were able to get the fence, but it has to be a certain kind."

    "I love Kannapolis. I moved here to get away from the craziness of Charlotte and it's been great. Everyone is usually friendly around my neighborhood and I know most of my neighbors. It's quiet at night and there's not much light pollution. Kids are always playing outside and there's a dog in every yard. There's a plethora of parks to choose from around here and the neighborhoods have sidewalks. The only real downsides are loose dogs running around and hanging about in the road. Some yards are also not well maintained and have lots of trash etc. Lots of dilapidated and abandoned buildings. "
