Property Description
Affordable 2BR/2BA home with great potential in Old Fort! Full of character and opportunity, this one-level home offers a spacious layout with two light-filled living areas (one with a cozy woodburning fireplace) and a large kitchen and dining area with a cheerful, window-filled breakfast nook. Enjoy outdoor living on the covered front porch, sunny back deck, or under the gazebo-all set to take in peaceful mountain views. A detached 2-car garage with upstairs bonus space adds even more flexibility for storage, hobbies, or a workshop. While the home could use some TLC and updating, it offers solid value for buyers ready to make it their own-perfect for DIYers, investors, or anyone looking for an affordable mountain property. Located just minutes from all Old Fort has to offer-hike or ride the network of Pisgah National Forest Trails, including the newly improved Catawba Falls segment, explore nearby Curtis Creek, enjoy local brews at Hillman or Whaley's (2 miles away). Conveniently close to Asheville (25 minutes), Black Mountain (15 minutes), and Marion (15 minutes). A great opportunity to own a well-located home with potential at an attractive price!
