5548 Union Road, Gastonia, NC

Situated on Union Road, this 1951 residence represents a departure from the conventional Gastonia estate, functioning instead as a sophisticated live-work compound with a verified commercial infrastructure. The primary dwelling comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,246 square feet, recently updated with hardwood flooring and a dedicated game room. The property’s true utility lies in its established, gated storage facility, which offers a versatile configuration of climate-controlled workshops, enclosed bays, and open-air spaces for maritime and recreational assets. The inclusion of a dedicated power meter, high-clearance garage doors, and full utility hookups suggests a turnkey operation for the investor-occupant. Within the current Gaston County climate, diversified income-producing land remains a prudent hedge against traditional residential volatility, particularly as regional demand for secure equipment storage continues to outpace supply. This offering presents a unique opportunity to acquire both a private residence and a functional enterprise on a single site. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
