About this House

In the heart of Canton, 142 Substation Road has been lovingly restored from top to bottom. The sunny main level features an open living area, a spacious kitchen with an updated bar and appliances, a freshly painted bedroom, and an updated full bathroom. A spiral staircase leads to an additional 347-square-foot finished bonus room that is heated and cooled. Although this valuable additional space is not included in the home’s official square footage because the ceiling height is just under seven feet, it greatly expands the home’s usable living area. The finished bonus room offers excellent potential as an additional bedroom or sleeping area, media room, home office, playroom, or guest space. From the lower level, walk directly into the fenced backyard, where a shady and level parcel awaits. Conveniently located near Pisgah High School, area parks, and downtown Canton, this updated home offers more finished and usable space than the official square footage reflects and is ready for its next chapter. The property is located within the 100-year floodplain.

    "Iv lived here just over 4 years. It's quiet, except for your usual stuff like the occasional idiot flying through in their jacked up truck. You can walk to Two convenience stores and a few restaurants, a comic shop, a brew pub and a few other things. Far enough away from Asheville to be enjoyable but close enough to get there if nerd be.
