Conveniently located just a couple short blocks to downtown and all the fabulous restaurants, shops and festivals, not to mention being near the Blue Ridge Parkway and lots of hiking! Zoned residential and general business, this is a perfect investment property for daily or weekly rentals. Totally renovated in 1993, this cottage is nicely landscaped and has attractive curb appeal. It features a wood burning vented stove, wood floors, beautiful leaded and stained glass windows, a whirlpool tub, and lovely bay windows, which allow for plenty of natural light. Sit on the back deck and enjoy the sounds of the babbling creek that runs alongside the property. The quaint setting and charm of this home will entice you to return again and again. This home was totally restored in 1993 around the steel frame of the original mobile home. Of the 795 square feet stated, 199 square feet does not meet the 7 foot height requirement by 5-6 inches. A new sewer line is currently being installed from the home to the street! Home is being sold "as is, where is".
