Client is accepting backup offers on this cozy and luxurious single level home with completely separate living space! Whether the side unit becomes a rental or a place for parents, the 2nd living quarters gives tons of flexibility for either. Mostly ADA compliant for handicap accessibility, too. Virtually everything in the main house has been upgraded with meticulous detail. The tile and woodwork in this home was done by people that truly appreciated their craft and it shows. The extensive gardens share the same devotion as the inside with well thought out placement and species selection. These folks cut no corners in making their dream home magnificent. Less then a mile to Warren Wilson and a little over 2 miles to the grocery store.
