Rare opportunity to acquire a well-built brick & slate expandable ranch in attractive Valentine Hills and make it your dream home or a solid investment property. Enjoy living just minutes from the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, the Jefferson-Lakeside Country Club and all the fun of the Lakeside community! Constructed by renowned builder John Stinson in 1954 on an extra wide lot (.43 acre), this house has been in the same family for over 70 years, and the rear parcel (.3 acre) is also included in the sale. The main level includes wood floors throughout most of the first floor, foyer with staircase to the second level, formal living and dining rooms, kitchen and sunporch, and a bedroom wing with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The partially finished basement served as the family’s rec room (plumbing for full bath), and the unfinished area housed laundry facilities, storage and a tandem garage to hold two vehicles. Walk-up attic provides unlimited storage and could become future bedrooms or flexible use space. This property is being sold “as is”, so bring your inspectors, contractors and imagination for your renovation project, and prepare to enjoy the large lot filled with mature crepe myrtle, hellebores and hydrangea!
