BACK ON THE MARKET. NO FAULT OF THE SELLER. Beautiful mountain views, easy one-level living, and a location just a couple of minutes from downtown Mars Hill give this timeless brick rancher an especially compelling combination of setting and convenience. The location also keeps you about 12 minutes from Weaverville and just over 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, with Mars Hill University, Publix, Ingles, and other everyday conveniences just a short drive from home. The front porch is perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding mountain scenery, while a combination of hardwood and thoughtfully selected laminate flooring, along with abundant natural light, creates a warm, inviting feel throughout the main level. Two distinct gathering spaces include a bright living room and a separate family room centered around a classic brick fireplace, with an adjoining dining area and French doors leading to the large covered rear deck overlooking the wooded backdrop. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a wide window that brings in views of the trees beyond. The pantry features a Rev-A-Shelf system designed to maximize storage and convenience. Comfortable bedrooms and updated baths add to the appeal, including a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with modern finishes. The laundry area in the garage provides ample cabinetry, a laundry sink, and a built-in craft table/cabinet for additional workspace and storage. A metal roof, seamless gutters, modern HVAC system, and water heater provide added peace of mind. Two paved driveways provide excellent access and generous parking, while the unfinished basement offers additional garage space with a garage door, French doors, a laundry sink, abundant storage, and excellent potential to finish for additional living space. Experience the best of Mars Hill, with its inviting downtown, local shops and dining, vibrant community events, nearby outdoor recreation, and the energy of Mars Hill University, all wrapped in the charm of a true Western North Carolina mountain town. An additional 5.7 acres is also available for purchase with the home.
