HOUSE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS LISTED AT 1,097; BUT BECAUSE 2ND FLOOR BEDROOMS HAVE A CEILING HEIGHT A LITTLE LESS THAN 7 FEET, 512 SQUARE FEET CAN'T BE ADVERTISED. GREAT LOCATION IN TOWN, WALKING DISTANCE TO EVERYTHING; SHOPPING, DINING, ENTERTAINMENT, TOWN PARK AND GREENWAY TRAILS, LEES-McRAE COLLEGE, CHURCHES AND ALL BANNER ELK HAS TO OFFER! NEW ROOF WAS PUT ON 2 YEARS AGO. HOUSE NEEDS PLENTY OF TLC TO BRING IT BACK TO ITS FORMER SELF AS THE OWNER HAS NOT LIVED IN THE HOUSE FOR OVER 2 YEARS. IT COULD BE A WONDERFUL RENTAL PROPERTY OR PRIMARY RESIDENCE! THIS ONE IS A MUST SEE FOR HISTORY BUFFS AND/OR YOUR IN-TOWN BUYERS! MOTIVATED SELLER!!!
