Special opportunity in Black Mountain that you won't want to miss! Well cared-for & thoughtfully-updated home on over 1/2 acre - walkable to downtown! This is a nature-lover's paradise, with mature hardwoods, established garden beds, fruit trees, and a meandering creek near the property boundary. Take a peaceful walk through the stone labyrinth in the side yard, while listening to the birdsong. Relax with friends & family on the covered front porch, around the fire pit, or underneath a shade tree. This private, park-like setting makes you feel like you're living on a country road, but everything the town of Black Mountain has to offer is right around the corner. Take a walk to the farmer's market, stroll on one of the town's greenway trails, or head into town for dinner and live music. Lake Tomahawk, Black Mountain Golf Club, and the parks & trails in Montreat are all right there. The home itself is a classic ranch style on a full unfinished basement, with both interior and exterior access. Updated flooring, open concept living area with a bright spacious feel, remodeled kitchen & bathrooms, and thoughtful artistic touches throughout. All updated windows, high-end Bosch heat pump, whole-house water filtration system, and extensive solar array that keeps power bills to a minimum. Basement level provides ample space for a workshop, art studio, or just an abundant amount of storage. Sweet back deck, large garden shed, and carport off the kitchen for covered parking or additional outdoor living area. It's very rare to find a property like this within such close proximity to town. Truly a must-see!
