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.
This mountain gem won't last long. Schedule your private showing today and come listen to that creek for yourself!
