Discover the potential of this beautifully renovated single-level home at 178 Potts Community Road, just moments from the Tuckasegee River and Western Carolina University. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home features two separate move-in-ready living spaces, each with private entrances and laundry hookups perfect for multi-generational living, long-term rentals, potential short-term rentals, or convert into larger single living space. A massive finished flex space with framed-in lofts offers endless possibilities: use it as a game room, movie lounge, studio, or convert it into another living area. Downstairs, a fully gutted basement with plumbing already in place is ready for your creative vision. Recent upgrades include new Hardie board siding, new windows and doors, new roof and quality finishes throughout the home. Sitting on a level lot with a large backyard ideal for pets, play, or gardening, the home also includes a two-vehicle carport and a paved driveway with ample parking. Located outside of Sylva and Webster zoning, there are no STR restrictions, making this a prime income-producing opportunity or a flexible living solution in the heart of Western North Carolina.
