Some homes make an entrance. This one starts with a cheerful teal front door and a porch with rocking chairs that look like they've been waiting for you. Picture easy mornings and relaxing evenings right here, in a one-level brick ranch in Forest Hills. Inside, dark vinyl plank floors, crown molding, and big front windows fill the living room with light. The open floor plan flows into a kitchen with a stainless range and hood, white cabinets, and a pantry, so the cook never misses the party. The family room has its own half bath and works as an office, a guest space, or the spot everyone ends up. Three bedrooms, a full bath, a laundry room with the washer and dryer included, and a single-car garage keep every day easy. Out back, the deck looks over mature trees, a footbridge, and a yard with room to spread out. No HOA. Then there's Lancaster. The Red Rose City has a downtown arts district, the Lindsay Pettus Greenway for walks, and Andrew Jackson State Park a short drive north for hiking and fishing. You're about an hour from both Charlotte and Columbia, so you get small-town Southern charm with big-city options within reach. Big-ticket peace of mind: the roof was installed in 2021 and the ductwork under the home was replaced in 2023, per seller disclosure. Cash, conventional, FHA, USDA, and VA buyers welcome. Imagine your first fall evening here, then come see it before someone else does.
