WELCOME HOME TO THIS BEAUTIFULLY UPDATED RANCH STYLE HOUSE LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE MARS HILL'S QUAINT DOWNTOWN. Set on a rare, flat 0.5-acre lot, 1590 Bruce offers easy single-level living. The expansive, level yard is perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply soaking in the fresh mountain air. Since its last purchase, the home has undergone numerous updates, including major mechanical system upgrades (HVAC, hot water heater, and sump pump), the installation of French drains, and crawl space encapsulation with a commercial-grade dehumidifier, providing peace of mind for years to come. While classified as a 3-bedroom due to the septic, 1590 Bruce lives like a 5-bedroom home, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, home offices, or bonus spaces. Inside, you'll find two gorgeously updated bathrooms and a dreamy laundry/mud room to store everything you may want. Thoughtful updates throughout enhance both comfort and functionality, making this property truly move-in ready.
