Back on market, loan fell through. Excellent location in Mills River. Lots of updates, finished hardwood floors, granite counter tops, remodeled walk-out basement/garage with bonus room. Would make a great rental, starter home, perfect opportunity for first time home buyer, investment, or a vacation get-away. Property nicely located top of knoll. Land bordering, beautiful, green pastures and near-by Pisgah National Forest. Good sunlight, mature shade trees, garden space, big, private lot. Warm n cozy, adorable, cottage feel. Good location provides easy access to Asheville Airport, South Asheville, Arden, Hendersonville and Brevard. House was a 3 bed room converted into 2 bed room. Established neighborhood with private setting, yet close to everything you need. Wonderful area...no HOA fees, low taxes. New, updated, septic system installed. New survey.
