Privacy! Welcome to your next chapter in the heart of Western North Carolina! This solid brick ranch sits proudly on a peaceful dead-end street where the gentle sounds of Paxton Creek create a natural soundtrack for your daily life. Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the front patio while a babbling creek serenades you — it doesn't get much better than that.
Built to last with quality craftsmanship, this 1,732 square foot home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a thoughtfully designed layout. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, complemented by tile in the bathrooms and kitchen. A spacious family room and formal living room provide plenty of space for gathering and relaxing, while the unfinished full basement offers a cozy den complete with a woodstove for those crisp mountain evenings.
The generous lot boasts mature blueberry bushes that produce an abundant harvest each season — your very own backyard bounty. A durable forty-year metal roof installed a decade ago provides lasting peace of mind and low-maintenance living. The basement adds valuable flexible space for storage, hobbies, or future possibilities.
Nestled in a welcoming neighborhood near Marion, you'll enjoy easy access to charming Old Fort, the artistic haven of Black Mountain, and the vibrant culture of Asheville — all within a scenic drive through the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Ample parking and generous outdoor space round out this exceptional package.
