One MILE from Blue Ridge Parkway with VERY EASY access to this 1-story ranch on 1+/- acres located at a cool 3500 ft elevation in the peaceful neighborhood of Balsam Meadows. You may be at 3500 ft but the State paved road to get to the home is NOT steep. This 2000 plus square foot home is designed with large living areas and ready for you to move-in and begin customizing/updating to match your personal vision. The living room features a large stone fireplace, knotty pine walls and a large picture window that looks out onto the Plott Balsam Mountain range (at night you can see the Balsam Cross at the top of Mt Lyn Lowry). Hardwood flooring underneath carpet. This home has two gravel driveways - one leading to the front and the side of the house with access to the back while the second one leads to the rear. Conveniently located close to the Great Smokey Mountain Expressway, you have easy access to the nearby towns of Waynesville (7 miles), Sylva (12 miles), Cherokee, and Asheville.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
