Perched on a hillside close to the Warren Wilson College campus sits a blue bungalow with a large covered porch overlooking a grassy yard that is waiting on your garden. This 3/2 cottage has hardwood floors, a beautiful walk-in primary shower, open floor plan, upscale kitchen and a grilling deck. Winter views of the mountains from the back yard make the possible future art studio a must. Peaceful and quiet surroundings make this home a perfect investment.
