Tucked away in charming Ridgecrest, this cottage is only five minutes to downtown Black Mountain. Convenient to shopping, I-40, and wonderful restaurants. Hardwood floors, split bedroom plan, and a large eat-in kitchen. Imagine sitting out on the covered stone patio listening to the rain or enjoying your landscape. You'll love walking in this quiet neighborhood and gardening in the yard. Recently painted and newer roof. Lots of room for parking and an additional outbuilding for storage. This is a great home for any stage of life.
Quintessential mountain cottage in Ridgecrest, just a stone's throw from Black Mountain, Point Lookout Trail, and Ridgecrest Camps and Conference Center! This one-level home lives larger than it looks with an open floor plan, generously sized master bedroom, and separate hearth room with stone fireplace! Beautiful, gleaming wood floors throughout the living spaces and bedrooms. Large gravel parking area for guests. Meeks Road is a mostly flat road that is great for walking around the neighborhood. Ideal starter home or retiree home due to its low-maintenance and one-level layout. Also has great short-term rental potential.
