Please note that this area did sustain quite a bit of damage from Helene-The home itself didn't have damage but the edge of the covered front porch roof did. The sellers removed the porch and didn't add a roof back so if a new buyer may want to trim the trees to experience the beauty of the long range mountain views. Sellers have cleared the debris from Helene now and all that's needed is some additional gravel for accessibility from both driveways; one of which the neighbors have allowed the sellers to access another drive since the early 2000's with an informal word of mouth agreement. A shared road agreement would be more beneficial for the future . All Furniture will convey- The safe is negotiable...

The home has beautifully finished custom hardwood flooring and a spacious addition that could be used for a primary ensuite bathroom as the space offers plumbing stubbed up for an additional sink and has a walk-in shower. The acreage is quite expansive with mature fruit trees, a small green house, 2-detached garages and a small stream to sit on the porch and listen to the water trickling past. This property didn't sustain Helene damage to the houses but the creek did get in the edge of the homes hvac/air handler system space. The road was repaired via local support and the sellers assistance to make the driveway easier to navigate. In the future additional grading would be beneficial.

This home was an inherited property and all information provided is believed to be true and accurate. Sellers offering 5k credit with acceptable offer at closing.
