Rare opportunity to purchase a lake front home on beautiful Lake James with no HOA dues. This lakefront cottage would be perfect for full time living or vacation get-a-way. Enter the main floor with the kitchen dining and living areas being an open floor plan. Note the central fireplace. To the left are two bedrooms. Step through the sun room out to the large screened porch that overlooks the lake. Downstairs is the primary bedroom with a fireplace, an additional bedroom plus a bath. Step outside and note the very gentle walk to the lake. Back upstairs-step out onto the deck where you can get a great view of the boat house where you can pull your boat out of the water. Above the boat house is a space with a blank canvas to make it your own. What a great place for a studio. Note the boat dock with a sun deck on top. Lake James is the uppermost lake on the Catawba River system & covers 6,812 acres & has 150 miles of shoreline and is located in the foothills of western North Carolina.
