It features a living space with both a wood stove and wood-burning fireplace, open kitchen area, as well as both covered and un-covered decking that overlooks the fire pit and garden space. The primary bedroom and primary bath is on the main floor along with two other bedrooms and a room currently used as an office space. Downstairs has a spacious family room as well as two bonus rooms and a laundry room. This house also includes a recent addition of new roofing that was installed at the end of last year along with a whole house de-humidifier. In addition, the heating system and air conditioning were replaced in 2019. Within this subdivision offers a private community green space and access to the headwaters of the Tuckasegee River (perfect for fly-fishing) and a waterfall, known as Hatcher Falls, that is approximately 75-foot in height. Those brave enough to rock hop across the river will find an additional trail that leads to the box canyon, double-waterfall hike known as High Falls recreation area and beyond. A 10-minute drive brings you to the Lake Glenville boat launch and beach area, 15 mins to the areas hottest new restaurant - Happs Place or a 25-minute drive to Cashiers or Sylva. Swim, boat and fish on Lake Glenville, hike and explore the mountains, or just relax on the deck or by the fire pit, this property is a perfect way to enjoy the outdoors!
