GREAT OPPORTUNITY! This 1950's cottage is located in a GREAT location under 3 minutes from Downtown Marshall, 14 minutes from Mars Hill, and 28 minutes from Asheville. Perfect for a rental or your new home! New vinyl plank floors were added to the living room. Mini-split AC has been added to the primary bedroom and the living room. This home would make a perfect fixer upper or rental. Price reflects the condition and is being sold as is. According to the seller, gaskets in upstairs half bath need to be replaced and leak, so water has been shut off to that bathroom. BACK ON MARKET, NO FAULT TO THE HOME!

Affordable 1950s two story bungalow with simulated stone veneer and rocking chair front porch on .75 acres within Town of Marshall city limits. Master bedroom wing was added on. Very livable but could also use general updating. Steep drive but peace and quiet on property with nice landscape. Will appraise for most loan purposes.
