Tired of paying rent, looking for a starter home? Maybe you are looking to down size. This could be the home for you. Here is a two bedroom, one bath bungalow that has a lot of cozy and charm. Situated just on the outskirts of Hiddenite, it is close to your shopping needs, yet doesn't have the hustle and bustle of more crowded areas. With 896 square feet, it has ample room that lends to its coziness. The furniture is included in the price. The roof was replaced in 2012. It has an oil heater for its heat source with a tank that has several gallons of fuel, K-1 kerosene. It is connected to public water, but still has a well that was the original source of the family's water. Several mature trees grace the yard that is surrounded on two sides by large Leland cypress, which provide privacy. The home also has a single car carport that connects to the front porch and gives you and your vehicle protection from the weather. At this price, it offers an affordable, quality home in good shape.
