Perched atop the hill with mountain views and a true eagle’s nest feel, this distinctive 1950s-style
bungalow offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and nearly 1 acre of privacy and possibility. The home features a
welcoming front porch with sitting area, hammock swing, gallery-style kitchen, huge private deck, private
backyard, quiet downstairs theatre room, large laundry facility, and a second primary suite on the lower
level with separate entry. A 1-car garage, roof replaced in 2014, primary driveway off Memory Lane, and
additional driveway off Clayton Rd add to the functionality. A private walking path on Memory Lane
enhances the setting.
Beyond the home itself, the property offers additional upside. Currently improved with one house in an R2
setting, the high-traffic Long Shoals Rd frontage may offer future potential for city sewer hookup,
subdivision of the front portion, and possible commercial rezoning, subject to approval. With visibility at Long Shoals Rd and Clayton Rd, nearby sewer access, and flexible future possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique hilltop home with added investment potential.
