This CHARMING COTTAGE is located just a half-mile from ALL the conveniences of DOWNTOWN BLUE RIDGE! A fabulous STARTER HOME, INVESTMENT/RENTAL PROPERTY, OR MOUNTAIN GET-AWAY. The home has a brand new HVAC system (2024), brand new Hot Water Heater (November 2023), and new Refrigerator (2021). Remodeled Master Bath includes rustic barn door that separates the bathroom from the oversized Master Bedroom with cathedral ceiling! The kitchen has plenty of room to entertain with hand-crafted CEDAR cabinets and counter tops. It also has a stainless stove and refrigerator and updated hardware. New flooring throughout and subfloor replaced where needed. Plumbing from the kitchen to the master bathroom has been updated. Nice ROCKING CHAIR FRONT PORCH for relaxing. The DECK was completely replaced last year by a licensed contractor.
