Opportunity! Classic 1960's bungalow on a beautiful parcel of land in Swannanoa. This home has been owned by one family and has been well cared for over the years. Make it your own home or consider it as an investment property. Buyer to verify the possibility of building a new home on the upper portion of the parcel. Climb up above and take in the view a new house could have! Sweet spot in the Swannanoa Valley. Lots of potential in a great location.
