This tidy cottage is nestled at the top of a northeastern holler in the desirable Haw Creek community. Small and mighty, this place boasts two bedrooms, a nice remodeled bath, and "The Magic Attic" that serves well as another primary or guest bedroom. The galley kitchen has a great combo of Corian and stainless countertops along with a stainless fridge and dishwasher. It opens up to window-filled laundry/mud room that connects to a most gracious covered carport and private patio area looking out on a big, fenced back yard. The nearly-third-acre lot is almost perfectly flat with an ideal fire pit area, raised bed gardens, a storage shed and plenty of room to expand. Back inside you'll enjoy wood floors throughout, fresh paint, nearly brand new Trane HVAC on main, LG HVAC upstairs, updated windows, and a clean unfinished basement. Living at 22 Swanger feels great. It keeps life simple and full of your favorite things - all 10 minutes from Whole Foods, downtown, or the Blue Ridge Parkway.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY
Residential Single-Family Medium Density District
It is the intent of the RS-4 Residential Single-Family Medium Density District to establish a medium density for single-family dwellings and to stabilize and protect the residential character of the district while promoting a suitable environment for single-family living. Non-single-family development normally required to provide the basic elements of a balanced and attractive residential area is also permitted.
