This home may be a classic 3/2 ranch, but it's anything BUT average! Full of added features, and lovingly cared for, this original owner home has an open concept living area w/ a vaulted ceiling in the LR, hardwood floors, & a stacked stone wood-burning fireplace w/ antique andirons. The eat-in kitchen has everything you're looking for including S/S appliances, granite countertops, & crowned cabinetry. The space opens onto a screened porch that overlooks the partially fenced backyard. The massive primary suite has plenty of room for a sitting area & a desk, has access to the screened porch, & includes 2 walk-in closets plus a generous en suite bath w/ a huge shower, garden tub, linen closet, & dual sink vanity. The mud/laundry room w/ sink is also nearby. Special touches include several outdoor spaces to enjoy the incredible year-round views of Bell Mountain & Brasstown Bald: a pergola-covered hot tub, a 12x12 covered pavilion, & a fire pit area all surrounded by beautiful landscaping & solar lighting. Added square footage can be found in the screened porch (220 SF), the well-planned workshop (220 SF), the rocking chair front porch (135 SF), & in the 2-car garage (570 SF). Two custom barn doors & a custom screen door add character to this already amazing home. Bonus features include a whole-house surge protector, an instant hot water heater, a 500-gallon buried propane tank (owned), a separate electric panel for the workshop (located underneath porch), & fiber optic internet.
