216 Bagwell Street · Garner, NC 27529

Right next door, this sold listing fetched significantly less, but the photos reveal an extreme contrast in condition. This sold property was an as-is fixer-upper featuring dated wood paneling, drop ceilings, worn linoleum, and extensive cosmetic rehab needs. By comparison, 216 Bagwell is much newer, clean, and in move-in ready condition with spacious formal living areas and an expansive unfinished attic. The substantial price difference reflects the massive amount of renovation and repair this neighbor required.

The home on Lakeside Drive offered comparable total square footage due to its finished basement, but inside it showed extensive deferred maintenance and age. The interior features heavy dark wood paneling, damaged ceilings with exposed drywall work, and unfinished-looking basement spaces needing significant work. In contrast, 216 Bagwell provides clean, well-cared-for single-level living on a generous lot without immediate major construction projects hanging over your head.

This sold listing is a two-story home in a newer subdivision, built in 2019 with a two-car garage, granite kitchen island, and an open contemporary floor plan. While 216 Bagwell offers the convenience of true single-level living and over double the lot size (0.45 acres vs. 0.22 acres), it lacks a garage and modular construction generally commands less per square foot than a stick-built subdivision home. Even after accounting for the value of true one-story living, the $40,000 savings on 216 Bagwell represents a reasonable trade-off between modern subdivision amenities and spacious yard privacy.
