Beautifully updated, this sturdy one-story abode, cradled between Sylva and Waynesville, is a portal to tranquility. Step onto the level yard, sun-dappled and serene, where the babbling melody of Dark Ridge Creek washes away your worries. Walk inside and be greeted by the warmth of the updated interior. Rustic farmhouse charm dances with modern touches. Whip up culinary delights in the expansive kitchen, anchored by a large island that beckons laughter and shared meals. Unleash your inner green thumb in the garden area, and the lot is unrestricted so your dream of keeping chickens can be realized. When the day winds down, retreat to the expansive, deck. Craving more space? The unfinished basement beckons with whispers of potential - a workshop for tinkering, a haven for hobbies, or a gym for your body and soul. The detached garage, with its dedicated workshop area, offers even more space. This haven offers easy access to charming shops, delectable restaurants, and cultural gems.
