Tucked just outside of town in an established neighborhood, this beautifully converted 2-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers a rare blend of convenience and natural charm. From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed by a delightful, year-round chorus of birdsong-creating a peaceful, nature-rich setting that's hard to find. The neighborhood is also known for its unique population of white squirrels, adding a touch of local character. The property features a large fenced area-perfect for dogs or outdoor entertaining-and extends into a wooded backdrop filled with mature tulip poplar trees. With a little vision, a private walking trail could easily be created right in your own backyard. In the winter months, enjoy seasonal mountain views from behind the home. You will love the location: just down the street you'll find a community garden, access to a paved section of the Estatoe Trail, and a local skate park. Despite the serene setting, you're less than a mile from downtown and close to everyday essentials like gas stations and a hardware store. Plus, a short drive opens up access to numerous trails in the surrounding areas of Pisgah National Forest and Dupont State Forest.
