1658 W Gilford Road

Set behind a handsome stone driveway with a convenient turnaround, this fully renewed Cape Cod pairs classic curb appeal with clean, modern comfort. The home rests approximately 134 feet from West Gilford Road, creating a welcome sense of separation while keeping Caro’s schools, shopping, dining, and community events close at hand. Across 1,123 square feet, the flexible floor plan offers three bedrooms and one bathroom. Two bedrooms are located on the main floor, while an exceptionally spacious upstairs bedroom provides a private retreat, studio, or work-from-home option. Luxury vinyl flooring, fresh paint, neutral finishes, clean lines, and new appliances reflect the comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation. Even the detached one-car garage has been redone. Important improvements continue below grade. The basement features a new crock and sump pump, a perimeter drainage system, and carbon fiber reinforcement straps along the south wall, backed by a transferable warranty. A new private septic system and field add confidence, while the private well means no municipal water bill. Outdoors, mature trees bring seasonal color to the gently contoured backyard and frame an appealing open view. The setting sits just outside city limits, balancing country atmosphere with quick access to McLaren Caro Region, Caro High School, the farmers market, Music in the Park, restaurants, and everyday shopping at Walmart Supercenter and ALDI. Completely refreshed, move-in ready, and thoughtfully fortified, this distinctive home offers quality, convenience, and compelling value in one polished package.
