Why rent when you can own? This charming and updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers an affordable opportunity for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone looking for a move-in ready property just minutes from Lake James and downtown Marion.
Inside, you'll find refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring all-new plumbing, a stunning tile shower, and a heated exhaust fan that keeps the space warm and comfortable on chilly winter mornings. The inviting kitchen offers quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a brand-new refrigerator, creating a functional and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. Throughout the home, updated cellular blackout blinds provide both privacy and energy efficiency. A new water heater adds additional peace of mind. The efficient floor plan makes the most of every square foot while maintaining a warm and comfortable feel throughout.
Step outside and discover one of this home's most appealing features—an oversized city lot with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. The private outdoor retreat includes a custom stone patio, colorful butterfly gardens, a spacious back deck, covered front porch, and a high-quality hot tub overlooking the fenced backyard. Whether you're entertaining guests, enjoying your morning coffee, or relaxing after a long day, this outdoor space is designed to be enjoyed year-round.
Need extra storage or workspace? The basement workshop area provides room for hobbies, projects, tools, and seasonal storage. Additional land behind the home offers opportunities for gardening, recreation, or future improvements. Trees have already been removed to allow for additional sunlight, creating excellent potential for expanded gardens, outdoor living spaces, or additional usable yard area.
Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, and the outdoor recreation opportunities that Western North Carolina is known for, this home combines charm, updates, outdoor living, and affordability in one attractive package. Ask about available first-time homebuyer and down payment assistance programs that may help make homeownership more affordable than renting.
