123 Marlett Rd, Cullowhee, NC 28723

Classic mountain cottage on 4.27 acres at an always-cool elevation of 3,700 feet, set in a small meadow surrounded by mature mountain laurels and rhododendrons, with Pine Creek winding in and out of the back property line. This setting allows for privacy coupled with an open, airy feeling. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage has 3 porches (2 open and 1 screened), situated to allow the residents to take advantage of the sun, shade and breeze throughout the day. The efficient galley-style kitchen includes custom cabinets, stainless appliances and extra-deep Corian countertops. The flooring is mostly hardwood throughout. The small amount of carpet on the stairs going upstairs to the private second bedroom suite is new and the interior has been freshly repainted. Located 5 minutes from Lake Glenville boat landing and 20 minutes from Cashiers, extended-stay occupants will appreciate the easy 20-minute access to Franklin's more extensive shopping options, making it easy for the owner to enjoy the cool summer temperatures of the plateau while being convenient to the requirements of everyday living. The cottage is being sold modestly furnished and equipped so the new owner can just bring linens and enjoy a weekend or week-long retreat.
