Selma, NC 27576Beautifully renovated from the studs up, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch sits on a spacious 0.33-acre corner lot just a block from Selma Elementary School and an easy walk to Selma's historic downtown district. Built in 1949, the home received a major rebuild in 2024 with engineer-designed floor framing and foundation repairs, a new electrical system, new water and sewer lines, and new HVAC ductwork, along with a newly installed roof, this home offers buyers peace of mind from the foundation to the roofline. Inside, the open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area is the heart of the home, centered around a classic brick fireplace that serves as a charming focal point. The space is finished with granite countertops, a kitchen island, stainless steel appliances, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Two of the three bedrooms share a full bath featuring a double vanity and a tiled walk-in shower. The third bedroom sits across the hall from a second full bath conveniently located off the laundry room. Outside, this corner lot features a mature magnolia in the front yard and a tree-lined perimeter for added curb appeal and natural screening, complete with a covered front porch and large gravel driveway. A roomy storage building (approx. 12' x 16') offers extra space for tools, lawn equipment, or hobbies. Location is a major perk here: walk to Selma Elementary, stroll down the street to grab some morning brew at Coffee on Raiford, browse the antique shops and murals of downtown Selma, or catch a show at Rudy Theatre. With quick access to I-95 and US-70, commuting to Raleigh, Goldsboro, and beyond is a breeze. This move-in ready home offers the rare combination of small-town charm, walkability, and true turnkey peace of mind. Schedule your private showing today!
