About this home

COMING SOON!!!! STEP INTO A TRUE MID-CENTURY MASTERPIECE! Built in 1965 by Ronnie and Wayne Simmons, this one-of-a-kind multi-level home blends timeless architectural design with modern comfort. Situated at the end of a quiet street and just steps from Broyhill Walking Park, the property offers exceptional privacy surrounded by mature trees. The impressive double wood front doors open to a dramatic foyer where a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace immediately captures your attention. The spacious living room and dining area feature vaulted, beamed wood ceilings, creating warmth and character, while skylights fill the dining room with natural light. The kitchen offers abundant built-in storage, a breakfast area, and a double wall oven with a vintage electric cooktop, blending retro charm with everyday functionality. The refrigerator, separate freezer, washer, and dryer are all included. Just beyond the main living area, you'll find one of the home's most inviting spaces—a covered wraparound deck overlooking the wooded backyard.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. John can introduce you to lenders he trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
