About This Home

Priced below tax value, this versatile property is the ultimate starter home or savvy rental investment. Located just minutes from Brevard, this move-in ready 3BR/2BA residence offers an unbeatable combination of value and character. Inside, you’ll find warm wood floors and sun-drenched living spaces. Outside, the gently sloping yard is a pre-planted paradise with established asparagus, raspberries, grapes, and a peach tree.
Don’t let the photos fool you—those stairs are the secret to the best seat in the house! While they might look like a workout, they are a short climb to an incredible, year-round mountain view you’ll want to soak up for hours. Looking for equity growth? The tall unfinished basement and attached storage room are blank canvases for a home office, gym, or expansion. A rare mountain find at this price point—schedule your showing today! (Note: Home does not qualify for FHA financing).
