About this home

Back on the market!! Conveniently located between Asheville and Black Mountain, this one owner ranch-style home provides a wide array of possibilities! The main area living boasts a beautiful rock hearth and mantel with a Buck Stove, wood burning insert and hosts a large 2nd bedroom that can be easily converted into a 3rd bedroom. The downstairs has been converted into a separate living space, complete with a kitchen (minus the stove) with it's own parking and entrance. This can an immediate income producing property if you so choose. The 1536 sq ft separate garage with a wood stove and loft in the back can be easily adapted to be a workshop, combination garage and work space, or converted into another living area. The garage was built in 2005 with future possibilities in mind (rough plumbing in place) making modifications easier and less costly. There is also another building lot on the property that can either be sold off or build another cabin for a long or short term rental.
