About this home
Discover timeless architecture with modern updates in this beautifully renovated Mid-Century Modern brick ranch located in the established Forest Hills subdivision. Situated on a spacious corner lot just minutes from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, this 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving the distinctive design elements that make Mid-Century Modern homes so desirable. Rather than taking away from its original character, the renovations were carefully chosen to enhance the home's clean lines, open feel, abundant natural light, and timeless architectural appeal. Step inside the impressive grand foyer featuring floor-to-ceiling storage and a built-in plant display nook before entering the spacious formal living room where an oversized bay window floods the space with natural light. The home offers both a formal dining room and a casual eat-in kitchen complete with custom wood cabinetry, extensive built-in pantry storage, a gas range, and stainless steel appliances. The inviting family room features custom built-ins, recessed lighting, and a cozy fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space while remaining true to the home's Mid-Century Modern design. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on one wing of the home, while the opposite side features a private fourth bedroom, office, or flex space with its own full bath--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or working from home. Recent improvements include new flooring and fresh paint throughout, a new hot water heater, new electrical service with new interior and exterior electrical panels, and a new crawlspace moisture barrier, providing modern reliability, improved efficiency, and long-term peace of mind while complementing the home's original design. Step outside to enjoy the private brick-fenced backyard, complete with a detached brick workshop that's perfect for hobbies, storage, a workshop, or additional flex space. Homes that successfully blend authentic Mid-Century Modern architecture with thoughtful modern updates are increasingly difficult to find. This property offers the best of both worlds--classic design, quality improvements, and a prime location in one of Goldsboro's established neighborhoods. A pre-listing home inspection has already been completed, and a complete list of recent upgrades is available upon request. Owner is a licensed North Carolina real estate broker.
