About this House

Excellent opportunity for business, residential or a combination of both! Conveniently located just a minute off of 107 in Sylva. Currently housing The Meditation Center, this location began as a 3BR/1BA home and could be modified to be such again. Building is in terrific spotless modern condition and has retained its considerable charm. Tons of natural light through many windows. Massive sized living or conference room, big convenient kitchen with room for dining area, nice sized office or bedroom, side room could be partitioned off as another office or bedroom, bathroom with walk in shower, mud room ideal for growing plants or storage space, and another large storage area. Septic is set up for 3BR. The well is shared. 21 Browning Rd is situated on a FLAT .66+/- lot...ideal for all manner of gardening, additional buildings. Sizeable parking area but could be expanded on this flat lot with brilliant southern exposure. Wide front steps to large covered porch. Quiet neighborhood. Close to shopping/dining/medical/breweries, downtown. Time to put on your thinking caps and decide how best to utilize this gorgeous building and stellar location. See more details in photo captions.
