The updated kitchen offers ample workspace and comes complete with a refrigerator, electric range, oven, and dishwasher, while the functional floor plan provides comfortable one-level living.

Located just minutes from Waynesville, Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and countless hiking, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities, this home is perfect as a primary residence, mountain getaway, or investment property.
