Fall in love with this charming 1940s farmhouse tucked away on 5.2 private acres! Offering 2 bedrooms plus a versatile flex room and 1 bathroom, this home blends classic character with peace of mind. All major systems have been recently upgraded: a new metal roof (2023), heat pump (2024), full septic replacement (within the last 6 years), updated plumbing, and a newly installed water treatment system with a clean 2025 water quality test done. While located in a flood zone, this home stayed completely dry with zero interior water entry during Tropical Storm Helene. Unwind on the screened-in porch—ideal for slow morning coffees or evening glasses of wine. Complete with a detached 2 car garage and a fenced front yard for pets and play. Only 16 minutes from Downtown Waynesville!
