Listen to the sounds of a cascading waterfall and nearby creek from this updated 1950's bungalow. Tucked away in a secluded setting, this home is just minutes from grocery stores and downtown Marshall and convenient to the charming town of Weaverville. Situated high on a hill (with no flood risk), this is a peaceful and relaxing place to enjoy wildflowers, butterflies and hummingbirds, while the stacked stone walls bring to mind a fairy tale cottage. Step inside to find an inviting layout with an open and lofty living area that offers modern comfort while maintaining vintage character. Enjoy the flow from the covered front porch out to the rear stone patio, ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in the mountain air. Updates include mini-split heating and A/C (with Monitor heat back-up), a sealed and dehumidified crawlspace, extensive landscaping and stonework, and a metal roof that adds longevity and contemporary curb appeal. Two springs supply gravity fed, UV filtered spring water, providing sustainability and low operational costs. Fast, affordable Internet is provided by French Broad Electric. This home has served as a successful short, medium, and long term rental and can be offered furnished for turnkey convenience.
