Charming 3 bedroom 1 ½ bath home on Drexel Road with beautiful views of High Peak Mountain right from your living room. This lovely house has 2 acres with the possibility of more land available. Three bedrooms on the main level along with kitchen, dining area, living room with fireplace along with a family room with wood stove directly off the kitchen. Some new wood floors were added recently. This property has been in the family since 1900 and, per the seller, was the site of the first schoolhouse in Burke County right behind the big barn. In addition to the abundant space on the main floor, there are several rooms in the basement (lower ceiling height) that would be great for additional living areas, craft rooms or a nice bonus room. Last but certainly not least, enjoy the expansive porch off the kitchen, great for relaxing and entertaining. Fruit trees and flowers abound. Come fall in love with 1715 Drexel Road. Hot tub is negotiable and has views of High Peak Mountain too!
