Some homes are just houses. This one is different. From the moment you walk through the door, 106 Willards Ferry Road wraps its arms around you. It is spotless, it is warm, and it has been loved deeply for a very long time. That kind of care does not go unnoticed — it is in every room, every detail, every corner of this home.

Do not let the size fool you. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch is small in square footage and mighty in everything else. The main level is bright and comfortable, with an eat-in kitchen and a living room that feels like it was built for conversation. The farther you go into this home, the bigger it gets — the finished walk-out lower level nearly doubles your living space, with a large recreation room, a private bonus room, a second bathroom, laundry, and more storage than you would expect.

Step outside through the lower level and you land on a screened-in porch the size of a room — shaded, quiet, and made for mornings with coffee and evenings with nothing to do. The two-car concrete carport keeps your vehicles covered, and the attached workshop with built-in cabinetry gives the handy buyer a dedicated space to do what they love. Add a shed, a clothesline, and a backyard that rolls gently away from the house, and this property lives much larger than it looks from the street.

Located just minutes from the Jonesboro Square, in Jonesboro Community Consolidated School District 43 and Anna-Jonesboro Community High School District 81.

Seller Disclosure: Sellers disclose that during heavy, multi-day rain events, water intrusion may occur along the northeast wall of the lower level. This does not occur regularly and may go one to three years between events. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding the basement and foundation prior to auction.
