Fixer upper with frontage on beautiful Spring Creek across the road! Fish from your own property while being only a block away from restaurants, bars, and shops of magical little Hot Springs, NC! Built in the late 1800's, this once served as a guest house and is begging to be restored to its original beauty. Walk out the door and hop on the Appalachian Trail to get some energy out...go tubing down the French Broad River...or just kick back and relax in the shade of the front porch while enjoying the sounds of rushing water. Such a unique property-check out the picture of the old wash room with the hand pump well. You don't see that every day. 4 BR upstairs(no heat or closets). Kerosene monitor downstairs is currently the only heat source and sellers are not sure if it functions. Additional square footage and second full bath upstairs with low ceilings. Potential for a main level bedroom. 45 min to Asheville. 33 min to Newport, TN. Recent survey on file. NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE. SOLD AS-IS
