Tucked away on nearly half an acre, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has the kind of updates that matter: newer roof, updated HVAC (with warranty), and a layout that makes sense. At just over 1,000 square feet, it’s manageable without feeling cramped, and the large, level yard gives you room to grow, garden, or just let the dog run.

It’s a 1950s ranch with good bones, set in a quiet pocket of Sylacauga with quick access to US 280 and 231. Close to schools, shopping, and local parks, it’s the kind of place that works just as well for a first-time buyer as it does for someone looking to downsize without compromise.
