1658 W Gilford Rd

Set back approximately 134 feet from West Gilford Road, this fully renovated Cape Cod pairs a spacious outdoor setting with easy, move-in-ready living just outside Caro's city limits. Because it is located outside the city limits, you will enjoy no municipal water or sewer bills, featuring a private well and a brand-new dual-tank 1,250-gallon septic system. Mature trees, subtle backyard contours, and an open view give the property a relaxed feel, while the stone driveway with a new retaining wall and turnaround makes coming and going simple. With 1,123 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms and one bathroom, including two bedrooms on the main floor and a very large bedroom upstairs that leaves room for a home office, hobbies, or a quiet retreat. Renovated from top to bottom, the interior features luxury vinyl flooring, fresh paint, neutral tones, new drywall, Pella windows, interior/exterior doors, and R38 ceiling insulation. Major system upgrades include a new 96% efficient furnace, central A/C, a new water heater, a 200A electrical service with surge protection, 100% new electrical wire throughout the house and garage, new pex plumbing, and a full basement drainage system with a sump pump and transferable warranty. The brand-new kitchen comes complete with new cabinets, countertops, a sink, and all appliances (refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and exhaust fan). The updated bathroom features a new double sink vanity, tub/shower, toilet, and mirror. The detached one-car garage has also been fully renovated with new lighting and outlets. A turn-key property offering peace of mind and country charm! McLaren Caro Region and Caro High School are each about 0.1 miles away.
