This charming farmhouse overlooking a pasture filled with fireflies on summer nights and lively little goats will amuse you while you relax on a wide front porch. The interior’s sunny floor plan, sparkling updated kitchen with quartz countertops and spacious main level bedroom will impress you. The living and dining rooms are separated by a lovely archway that make the area open and airy. The second level rooms will have a permanently installed heat source by appraisal time but have been used comfortably over the years. These include two bedrooms, one with half bath, and office. Discover the huge 905 SF detached workshop with wood stove offering storage space, a one car garage, large carport and securely fenced level back yard. You’ll love the convenience of being 10 minutes from downtown Waynesville and equally close to shopping, medical services, recreation centers and Lake Junaluska. This wonderful older home has the character you’re looking for! Contact List Agent for Disclosures.
