Investor Special! Classic single-story brick rancher sits on a level, easy-to-maintain lot just minutes from the heart of Mars Hill, NC. The exterior features timeless red brick, complemented by covered front porch, perfect for relaxing & taking in the peaceful country surroundings. Inside, this home offers a spacious layout with picture windows - especially pleasant in the morning light. The living room centers around a traditional brick fireplace, adding warmth & character. The kitchen & dining area flow together comfortably, ideal for both casual meals & entertaining. The flat lot provides plenty of space for gardening, pets or hanging out. The detached garage could be a great workshop. With the Blue Ridge Mountains nearby, you get just a hint of elevation in the views without the challenges of steep terrain.
