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...
