Inexpensive- Well Built- In Town Convenience! Perfect for a family home, vacation getaway, or even a VRBO income producer. A rare pairing of HILLTOP PRIVACY and IN-TOWN CONVENIENCE. Set at the corner of Reservoir Road and Clearwater Lane and wrapped in mature hardwoods, this home sits in an almost hidden enclave that offers the seclusion most buyers must drive miles into the country to find, yet it lies inside the Spruce Pine city limits, only minutes from downtown shops, dining and Blue Ridge Regional Hospital. Step onto the full-length covered front porch, settle into a rocker and take in the view across an open meadow to the wooded ridge-line beyond. Inside, a bright open floor plan joins the living, dining and kitchen areas beneath crown molding and ceiling fans. The living room centers on a stacked-stone corner fireplace with gas logs, a wood mantel and an arched display niche, with ample wall space for a reading library. The kitchen offers warm oak cabinetry, recessed lighting, an arched window above the double sink and a breakfast bar that seats three. A laundry room with its own exterior door serves as a convenient mudroom. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,586 sq. ft. of single-level living on .66 acre. The primary bedroom easily holds a king bed and a full suite of furniture, and the third bedroom works equally well as a home office. Out back, the covered rear deck, framed in timber beneath a metal roof and strung with café lights, is made for quiet mornings and long evenings. It overlooks a level, fully fenced back yard with a storage shed. The costly work is already done: a NEW METAL ROOF (2024), a heat pump approx. 5 years old, electric water heater, and CITY WATER AND SEWER. A two-car carport and a wide gravel drive provide ample parking. This is an NC state-certified modular home, built to the North Carolina State Building Code on a permanent foundation. Homes that deliver true privacy this close to town seldom reach the market. Come see what's possible here. This hilltop is awaiting your legacy. You are just 1 minutes away from downtown Spruce Pine, or dining and a great game at Grassy Creek Golf and Country Club, and the Blue Ridge Regional Hospital, or our brand new state-of-the-art YMCA with indoor pool; 7 minutes to adventure on the Blue Ridge Parkway; 10 minutes away from the famous Penland School of Crafts; You will be 15 minutes to downtown Burnsville; 30 minutes to Grandfather Mountain State Park, or to the beautiful Linville Falls, 30 minutes to fishing & water sports on Lake James, shopping in Marion, and I-40; 50 minutes to Asheville, NC; 60 minutes to Johnson City, TN, and the Tri-Cities Airport. This community is two hours from Charlotte, NC.
