Adorable Cape Cod sitting on a private wooded acre of land off of scenic Whitt Branch Rd. Conveniently located within minutes of I26. A quick drive to Mars Hill and under 30 minutes to downtown Asheville. This home has three bedrooms and a bonus space that's perfect for a office or child's play area on the main level. Two zone heat system. LOTS of storage upstairs and the basement. Upstairs behind both bedrooms there's unheated storage that runs the width of the home, perfect for seasonal decoration and in the basement there's lots of space to make your own. The sloped lot is mostly naturalized for easy care. The fireplace does not work. It can be repaired to burn wood or gas logs.
