Property description
Great Opportunity at a Reduced Price! Overlooking downtown Sylva, this early 20th century home commands exceptional views of the Plott Balsams and quick access to everything this popular small town has to offer. Walk or bike down to shops, eateries, breweries, the library, parks, free summer concerts and the Glorious Jackson County Farmers Market. Four-bedrooms, two full baths, 2 bonus rooms, large living room area, formal dining room, and the kitchen towards the back of the house opens to a covered porch with a sizeable storage room. Built in 1915 and still boasting many of its original attributes, such as pine flooring, wavy glass windows, beadboard stairwell, and interior trim common to that era. In addition to the vintage touches, modern conveniences such as city water/sewer and great internet are part of this package. The .11+/- acre lot size is large enough for a small garden yet small enough for easy maintenance. Like many homes of its period, access is via stairs from street level, with street adjacent parking. See the photos for additional information and room sizes. Everything about this home is waiting for you to come love it and personalize it for your very own!
