"The Butterfly House," so named for the abundance of butterflies, along with other wildlife, is a 3 bed, 2 bath 1,762 sf home less than 20 minutes from the arts, food, live music, town square events, and easy living of downtown Burnsville. While the open, yet cozy, indoor space invites you in, the 477 sf wrap-around deck beckons you to the outdoors to watch a sunrise and listen to the babbling creek flowing just across the way. Mountain charm exudes from each room with warm wood-clad walls/ceiling and a woodstove with stone surround in the living area, accent walls of 100-year-old barnwood in every bedroom, local-wood counters/shelves in both bathrooms, barn door entry and corrugated metal shower surround in the primary bath, and artsy paint colors and touches throughout the home. This home was built and cared-for with strength and ease of maintenance in mind, incorporating steel beam piers, engineered hardwoods, double hung windows, freshly stained wood siding, and freshly painted deck. Unfinished basement space offers over 600 sf of opportunity for use as a home gym, game space, workshop, storage, or whatever your lifestyle desires. There is, soon-to-be-expanded greenspace at Cattail Creek, and miles of hiking trails just outside the door. Some furniture is available in separate bill of sale. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a vacation retreat, or an investment property (STR's allowed), this ideal mountain getaway is waiting for you; make your appointment today!
