About This Home

As of January 2025

Discover this hidden gem! Tucked away in the heart of picturesque Cowee Valley, this adorable 2BR, 1BA block construction cottage is totally turnkey & move-in ready! Open concept living & kitchen areas keep the cottage feeling roomy, light & bright. The functional kitchen was updated in 2017 & features a large island for seating or prep work. The bath was updated as well w/shower stall, vanity & ceramic tile flooring. Both bedrooms are good sized. Outside you'll find plenty of room for entertaining or just enjoying the peace & quiet on the extra large covered deck that overlooks the rolling yard, complete with large firepit area. There are already raised beds for your garden, too! Tidy laundry room & walk-in crawlspace area that is dry as a bone for storage in the lower level. HVAC added in 2021 & windows/doors replaced then as well. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this is a great location for exploring all the area has to offer including gem mining nearby. Easy access w/small circular drive for parking. If you've been searching for a getaway to make your own mountain memories, then this darling little cottage may be the perfect find!
