What a cheerful and bright home! In-town country cottage splashed with sunlight and an enchanting rushing creek! Enjoy cultivating your own food or flower garden on the level, sunny land! Listen to the cheerful sounds of nature as you rock on the front porch or go to sleep in the evening! Wake up to the sunshine streaming through to the eat-in kitchen! Easily convert part of the parking area to a private patio right out of the kitchen door! There's even room to build an art studio or workshop! This home offers affordable, low-maintenance, easy living all within a few minutes to charming Main Street Marshall with its cafe's, restaurants, and shops (and French Broad River!) and nearby groceries, schools, library, banks, and post office.
