Rarely does a home offer long range mountain and valley views without all the long winding roads to reach it. This one level, three bedroom, two and a half bath home sits privately just minutes from downtown Brevard and Pisgah Forest, with easy access that makes daily life simple no matter the season. Step inside and the character of the original home is still very much present, paired thoughtfully with updates that make everyday living comfortable. The cathedral ceiling living room is the heart of the home, anchored by a full wall of brick and a gas log fireplace, with sliding doors that open to a covered porch overlooking the valley and surrounding mountains. It's a view that changes with the seasons and never gets old. The kitchen has been updated with warm cabinetry, quartz counters, a tile backsplash and stainless appliances, offering plenty of space to cook and gather. A refreshed half bath blends seamlessly into the home's existing style, feeling like it has always belonged. The primary suite includes a walk in closet, and all three bedrooms are on one level for easy, everyday living. Throughout the home, storage is abundant, with a large attached garage, a shed, and exterior storage rooms giving you room for tools, gear and everything in between. An automatic backup generator provides added peace of mind during power outages, and the partially fenced yard adds convenience for pets or outdoor space. Outside, a native Orange Flame Azalea sits tucked at the corner of the deck beneath a dogwood tree, a stunning burst of color when it blooms each season. As one past owner described it, this is the perfect home for easy, low maintenance living, with no steps and spectacular long range views that are simply hard to find with this level of accessibility. The half bath was the former laundry room; a licensed plumber relocated the laundry to the hall closet, but no permit was pulled for these changes.
