This idyllic riverfront 2 BR, 2.5 BA cottage sits high above the Tuckasegee River in charming historic Dillsboro. The 9’ to 11.9’ tongue-and-groove ceilings and walls of windows make this 1,377 sq ft home live large. Start and end your days from the screened porch overlooking the river. Each level features a full BR and BA, all with river views. Custom closets in the upper BR provide ample storage, plus a hidden washer and dryer. Mature trees, 8’ wooden privacy fencing, custom planter boxes, a pea gravel drive, and a gabled black metal 2-vehicle carport create an attractive yet private entrance. The riverfront graveled outdoor entertaining space is flanked by native plants and mature trees. Gardeners will love the outdoor potting area. The powered 12’ x 25’ outbuilding features two internal storage lofts and room for a workshop. This riverfront oasis is minutes from fishing, hiking, biking, rafting, breweries and restaurants and 1 hour to Asheville Regional Airport.
