BACK ON MARKET AND PRICED AGGRESSIVELY! Previous buyer canceled for personal reasons! Cute as a button and over ~1500sqft of usable space with its basement apartment! Come see this updated ranch within walking distance of the shops of Black Mountain and the trails of Montreat. The current owner has put so much effort toward making this house into a home, and it shows. Recent owner-completed upgrades include mini-splits for heating and cooling, flooring, roof, kitchen countertops and cabinets, drywall, windows and doors, and so much more! In the formerly unfinished basement, you'll now find an exterior-entry apartment with full kitchen, bathroom, and laundry hookup. Need a separate space for family or income potential? Consider the possibilities! And don't miss the views from the large back yard -- your reminder that this is mountain-living without sacrificing the conveniences of town. This cared-for home is ready for its next chapter; take a look!
