Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1984, this property is functional and maintained but retains most of its original finishes. The kitchen features dated pine cabinetry and tile countertops, while the living areas show aged carpeting and 1980s-style wood paneling. The bathroom fixtures and wall-mounted heating units are older, indicating the home is move-in ready but requires significant cosmetic modernization and potential system updates to meet current standards.
The interior features desirable architectural elements such as beamed ceilings and a stunning mountain rock fireplace, providing the quintessential cozy cabin atmosphere.
The single-level open floor plan maximizes the available square footage and includes the rare convenience of an inside laundry area.
The property includes an inviting front porch and a fully fenced yard, offering a secure and private space for pets, gardening, or outdoor relaxation.
At just 680 square feet, the living space is quite compact, which may be a significant constraint for families or those requiring extra storage.
The property is noted as needing 'personal touches,' suggesting that the 1984 original finishes likely require updates to meet modern aesthetic and efficiency standards.
The 2,250 square foot lot is relatively small for a mountain community, limiting the distance between neighbors and potential for future structural expansion.
Welcome home to this charming single-story retreat featuring an open floor plan, beamed ceilings, and a stunning mountain rock fireplace that creates the perfect cozy atmosphere. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home includes convenient inside laundry and plenty of natural light throughout. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the inviting front porch and make the most of the fenced yard for pets, gardening, or outdoor relaxation. Full of character and potential, this property is ready for your personal touches. Whether you’re looking for an affordable full-time residence or a weekend escape, this mountain retreat offers comfort, charm, and room to make it your own.
