This stone cottage bungalow offers two bedrooms and one bath, with the perfect blend of old world charm and modern functional living. As you step through the front door to a spacious living room that opens directly to a dining room you will notice the easy flow of the home. Off the living room is an additional room that could be used as a den or office, there is a separate door leading out to the attached carport for easy access to the home. The kitchen offers stainless appliances, a large stainless farm style sink, butcherblock countertops and tile flooring. The bathroom has modern fixtures, tile flooring and walls. Wood floors throughout the rest of the home. The home sits on a .60 acre lot with a perfect place for a garden. The covered back porch is another bonus. The location is optimal in the Foothills of NC as downtown Morganton is only minutes away and Interstate 40 is even closer for those trips to Asheville or to head East to Charlotte.. New HVAC 2024, new roof 2023.
