Full of warmth and authentic character, this charming furnished farmhouse-style retreat exudes the cozy mountain charm so many buyers are searching for, while also offering thoughtful updates and improvements throughout. Beautiful original hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by rich wood walls and ceilings with touches of classic beadboard that create a timeless and inviting atmosphere. The spacious living area opens up to front porch to view the sunset, while the updated kitchen offers functionality, it's own fireplace with comfort for everyday living or hosting guests. The main level includes a comfortable primary bedroom, a large full bath, and a convenient laundry area with modern washer and dryer.

In keeping with the character of many older mountain homes, the upstairs ceilings are slightly lower than standard, adding to the home’s authentic farmhouse appeal.
