Some houses ask you to finish the work. This one invites you to start living. Tucked on 1.52 wooded acres in the Town of Valdese, 110 Pineburr Avenue SW is a fully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-full / 2-half bath brick home with the updates buyers actually want: a new kitchen, new flooring, new sheetrock, smart lighting throughout the house, and a brand-new roof with a 40-year warranty. Step inside and the house opens up—island seating, a breakfast bar, and two gas fireplaces on the main level that make the whole floor feel warm and gathered. The primary suite is oversized and quiet at 22'6" x 16'8", with walk-in closet space and room to slow down. Need a fourth sleeping space or a real office? The laundry room is already huge—12'6" x 10'8"—and can work as a bedroom, office, or both without losing the function of the house. You’ll have 2 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms. One of the half baths is a garage bathroom, so you don’t track the shop, the pool, or the yard through the main living areas. The lower level is where the house really stretches out. A wood-burning fireplace, extra living space, a shop, storage, and walk-out access mean this isn’t just a basement—it’s usable square footage for a rec room, guests, hobbies, or all three. Outside is the part people remember. A large in-ground pool with a new pump and newer liner. Covered front and back decks, with smart fans on the front porch so summer evenings actually stay comfortable. A fire pit. Privacy fencing for you, plus a chain-link dog fence for the four-legged residents. And if you collect “just one more” toy: a 2-car garage up, a 1-car garage down, and a massive lean-to ready for boats, ATVs, and whatever else doesn’t fit in the house. City water, city sewer, generator hookup, no HOA. In town—Valdese Elementary, Heritage Middle, and Jimmy C. Draughn High—without giving up the trees, the space, or the privacy.
