Simply adorable! Burn Side is a one-level 3BR/2BA treasure tucked beside a charming mountain stream in Gingercake Acres. If the 1960s era tongue and groove pine, hardwoods, and beamed ceilings don't do it for you, then how about this: updated kitchen with gray cabinets and granite, screened porch, outdoor shower, heat pump, replacement windows, open floor plan, split bedrooms, and two decks overlooking that sweet mountain stream. Heated and cooled "Jim's House" outbuilding is perfect for a she-shed, man cave, office, or playroom. Walk to neighborhood pool, tennis, clubhouse, and playground. Gingercake Acres borders the Pisgah Forest and Linville Gorge Wilderness Area and is a true paradise for hikers, trout fishermen, and mountain bikers.
