About this House

Walking distance to town! This 3/1 cozy home is the perfect starter home, retirement or rental home. You can watch the Sylva fireworks from your own front yard! Walk around the block and you will be at the Sylva Library. Close to parks, pool, shopping and dinning. This home offers easy access inside the city limits with one level living. Great outdoor living spaces make this home seem larger than it is. The wonderful screened porch might be my favorite room. Open the french doors and enjoy the sounds of nature and the cool breezes throughout the home. Screened porch opens to a nice deck for soaking up the sun or preparing dinner on the grill. Plenty of room for entertaining. Front porch is another opportunity to enjoy the sound of the rain on the metal roof. Easy to see with just a little notice.
