About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow offering 1,576 sq. ft. of living space with a large bonus space over the garage in the heart of Mount Olive. Built in 1930 and thoughtfully updated, this home blends timeless character with today’s comfort and convenience.
Step inside to find a spacious living room with, a bright and open kitchen, and a main-level den that’s perfect for a home office or reading nook. The main floor also includes a comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms and a second full bath, creating a private retreat for family or guests.
The home sits on a .32-acre lot (100x140), giving you plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. An unfinished basement with a sump pump offers excellent storage or potential for future finishing.
Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will love the 3-car garage, which goes far beyond standard parking.
