203 Sunset Street · Stem, NC 27581

When looking at the home on Brogden Road, we see a property that was recently renovated with fresh paint and new flooring throughout, much like the updates mentioned for 203 Sunset Street. However, this sold listing also included a detached garage and a carport, providing significantly more utility for storage or hobbies. Even with those extra features and the move-in-ready condition, it sold for a lower total price and a lower price per square foot than the current asking price for the home for sale.

Comparing 203 Sunset Street to the home on Averly Court is a classic case of historic charm versus modern luxury. This sold listing was a brand-new 2025 build featuring high-end finishes like quartz countertops, a two-car garage, and a spa-like owner's suite. While the price per square foot is higher here, that premium is expected for new construction with modern energy efficiencies and high-end materials that a 1901 home typically won't have without a total studs-out renovation.

The home on Creedmoor Road represents a very different lifestyle compared to the downtown feel of 203 Sunset Street. This property sold for a much higher price primarily because it included over 9 acres of land and a private pond. While the interior living space is actually slightly smaller than the home for sale, the value of the acreage and the 2014 construction date drove the price significantly higher. It serves as a good reminder of how much land value can impact the bottom line in this area.
