About This Home
Welcome to the historic York Chester community in Gastonia, where timeless character meets everyday living. Built in 1918, this solidly constructed home offers a presence you can feel the moment you walk through the door. From its original heart of pine floors to its classic design—and a full front porch reminiscent of days gone by—the home carries the warmth and charm of a bygone era. Situated on a corner lot, there’s room to spread out—perfect for relaxing evenings, kids at play, or entertaining guests. Inside, plantation shutters and a gas fireplace add to the home’s inviting feel, while thoughtful updates include storm windows over the original windows, aluminum siding, an updated electrical panel, 2025 HVAC, and new gutters with leaf guards. The rear deck offers a great space to unwind, and the partially fenced yard with a storage shed provides added flexibility for outdoor living and organization. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with the character of yesterday and the space to make lasting memories today.
