About This Home
Escape to the foothills of NC with this spacious brick home located less than a mile from beautiful Lake James! It would make a fabulous vacation getaway or full-time residence. The main level features a warm brick propane gas fireplace, while the kitchen and dining area flow to the breakfast bar. The lower level provides additional bonus/flex space complete with a cozy wood stove fireplace. (The additional lower level basement flex space ceiling does not meet the required height standards yet it does contain some heating and cooling). Includes walk out doors that would also be great for storage or rec area. Enjoy the large yard, mature landscaping and easy access to boating, fishing, hiking, mountain biking and all that Lake James and the surrounding mountains have to offer. Check back for more photos and virtual tour next week.
