This rare treasure on the Tuckasegee river in Webster! The chef's dream kitchen has been updated with new Wi-Fi smart appliances, a pantry, an island, backsplash, and quartz countertop. The vaulted ceilings and windows provide plenty of natural light in the great room with awesome views of the river. The french doors open up to a spacious screened in porch. There's a large, flat, inviting front yard. Downstairs there is a fully equipped efficiency suite with covered porch for the in-laws or for rental income. All of this with ample storage both inside and out. Seller owned solar panels are very energy efficient and there is a gas log woodstove for added ambience. All of this centrally located near Sylva, Webster, and Cullowhee. An easy drive to Franklin, Bryson City or Cherokee. Colleges, shopping, breweries, restaurants, hiking, lakes, fishing, waterfalls, concerts and festivals are all nearby!
