About this House

Million dollar year-round view! A place like this doesn’t come available often. Last house on the road. The main living area feels like you are in a treehouse. There is also a detached office/in-law suite that can be used for endless possibilities- think she-shed/office/studio/possible AirBnB! The main floor consists of a master bedroom/bath and an open-floor living room and kitchen. The large master bedroom has a walk-in closet and bathroom. The lower floor also has views and has two bedrooms, a full bath, a living room, and a laundry room. Enjoy the two porches on either side of the house and a lower deck that is great for barbecuing and hanging out with friends. Yard maintenance is minimal but there is a good-sized grassy flat area with a fire pit which is great for cooler evenings. This house is conveniently located and a short drive to Dillsboro, Sylva, Franklin, Cherokee, hiking, fishing…you name it.
