Many renovations have been completed by current owner to include a new deck, basement completion to add yet a 4th bedroom and additional living space, new flooring and windows replacements, painting of several rooms, electrical upgrades etc... This Farmhouse has charm galore and sits on a flat wooded lot with a circle drive and a one car attached garage. Resting in the coveted Cattail Creek area of Burnsville NC., an area known to draw tons of artists and nature lovers alike due to being positioned near the Pisgah National Forest with the highest peaks East of the Rockies. Property is at 3,460 ft. in elevation and boast of 4 very distinct seasons with very comfortable mild summer temperatures. Be a part of this unique property's story and write its next chapter.
