Sitting at over 3,200 feet of elevation in picturesque Holly Forest, this affordable three-bedroom, three-bath home would make a great seasonal or year-round residence. Offering loads of potential, this home is being sold as a fixer-upper and is in need of repairs. The price has been greatly reduced in light of this and is a fantastic opportunity for the savvy investor or contractor. Enjoy the mountain views from the deck and balconies, or a side patio. A front porch overlooks the garden with space to add a fire pit or picnic area. The large living area is warm and bright with a skylight and wood-burning stone fireplace, while the kitchen with breakfast bar opens to a dining area in front of a pretty bay window. In addition to the master suite with its dual vanity, jetted tub, and separate shower, the main level includes a guest bedroom and bath. Downstairs is the third bedroom, bath, and two bonus rooms. One makes a perfect family room with its own wood-burning fireplace, while the other has a pet grooming station, complete with a raised tub. Additional features of this welcoming home include a two-car garage and a fenced-in dog run. Holly Forest is centrally located and convenient to the shopping and dining of Sapphire and Cashiers. Ownership includes Sapphire Valley Resort amenities such as golf, tennis, winter snow skiing and tubing, zip-lining, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball, putt-putt, children's activities, a well-equipped gym and a running track. Enjoy Fairfield Lake access to canoe, kayak, paddleboat, fish, swim, barbecue, or walk the scenic three-mile trail. The nearby national parks have many beautiful waterfalls and excellent hiking for nature lovers. The entire family will have plenty of fun things to do!
