About This Home

DRASTIC REDUCTION! $70K below recent appraisal! This traditional home offers main-floor living with room to spread out, inside and out. The spacious primary suite features an en-suite bath with two walk-in showers and two walk-in closets. A large living room with a stone gas-log fireplace opens off the eat-in kitchen, alongside a study with pocket doors for privacy and a formal dining room. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms plus a large, flexible bonus room with a full bath — ideal as a playroom, gym, or office, and easily convertible to two rooms. Outdoors, an 1,100 sq ft Trex deck spacious enough to double as a dance floor anchors a private backyard with a firepit, gazebo, and plenty of room to garden. Additional features: low-maintenance Hardie siding, 3 car attached garage, new interior paint throughout, tankless water heater, intercom system, whole-house Generac generator, and a private 10 GPM well. All this accompanied by a private setting and just 10–15 minutes to Sylva and WCU.
