878 Garren Creek Road offers the rare combination of peaceful creekside living and the confidence of a home that was not damaged during Hurricane Helene. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated over the past 10 years while the sellers lived here full time, the property reflects true pride of ownership. In 2025, the NC DOT constructed a retaining wall on a portion of the rear property slope prior to repaving Garren Creek Road this fall.
