303 Gallop Court · Stem, NC 27581

This sold listing provides a very close benchmark, sitting right around the corner in the same neighborhood with a nearly identical single-story layout. Both homes feature clean, updated flooring, neutral paint, and traditional oak cabinetry in the kitchens. While this home on Carriage Hill Drive secured a slightly lower purchase price, 303 Gallop offers valuable extras including a newer roof, fresh carpet, and a dedicated 280-square-foot heated and cooled workshop out back. Given how closely their rates per square foot align, the modest price difference is well supported by the additional amenities.

Located just down the street, this sold listing is virtually identical in size and ranch layout to 303 Gallop. Inside, this property showcases a higher level of cosmetic modernizing, notably bright white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a sleek subway tile backsplash in the kitchen. In contrast, 303 Gallop retains its original honey oak cabinetry, though it counters with high-value mechanicals like a newer roof and HVAC, along with an impressive conditioned outdoor workshop. When balancing the sleek interior updates of this home against the exterior workspace and mechanical updates of the home for sale, the two properties sit on very even ground.

This sold listing on Coachmans Trail sits slightly higher on the price spectrum, offering more interior space, an attached two-car garage, and a scenic pond view. Built a few years later, it features an open concept kitchen with granite counters and dark wood cabinetry that feels slightly more modern than 303 Gallop. However, after adjusting for size and the valuable inclusion of a garage, 303 Gallop holds its ground well for buyers who prefer a lower overall purchase price and do not require attached vehicle storage. The detached conditioned workshop at the home for sale also provides an appealing alternative hobby space that this sold property lacks.
