welcoming front porch with sitting area, hammock swing, gallery-style kitchen, huge private deck, private

additional driveway off Clayton Rd add to the functionality. A private walking path on Memory Lane
enhances the setting. Beyond the home itself, the property offers additional upside. Currently improved with one house in an R2
setting, the high-traffic Long Shoals Rd frontage may offer future potential for city sewer hookup,
subdivision of the front portion, and possible commercial rezoning, subject to approval. With visibility at Long Shoals Rd and Clayton Rd, nearby sewer access, and flexible future possibilities, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique hilltop home with added investment potential.
