CONVENIENT, TRADITIONAL BRICK HOME AT THE BASE OF MT. JEFFERSON! This 2 bedroom plus office/flex room & 2 bath home with oversized 2 car garage is near Ashe County High School and sits on 1.108 picturesque acres with expansive useable yard. The front door opens into a large living room with built-in shelves open to the dining area. Beyond the dining area is a white kitchen featuring a cozy brick fireplace w/ stove insert, new appliances, and a sunny window shelf behind the kitchen sink. Continue past the kitchen to a separate laundry room with cabinets & loads of shelving for pantry items, and an unheated mud room that may be used for exercise, crafting, or additional work space. The two bedrooms, office/flex room with access to the back deck, and two bathrooms are positioned at the back of the home. Flooring on the main level consists of original wood floors, new vinyl plank flooring, and tile. Upstairs you'll discover a carpeted 2nd floor with low ceilings (this area is not counted in HLA). This additional space would be great for a game room, artist's studio, additional sleeping room and/or storage. You'll love the flexibility! There are interior stairs leading to this area between the kitchen and primary bedroom, and there is also a separate exterior entrance near the garage. A sweeping deck overlooks the nearly-level backyard with gazebo and storage shed. Fencing is in place which pet owners will appreciate! Beautiful rare American Chestnut trees can be found bordering the property. A small open stream cuts diagonally across the front yard, and a small covered stream cuts across the backyard. Improvements by the owner include a new 2-bedroom septic system, updated electrical work, all new appliances, fresh interior paint, vinyl plank flooring in laundry and mudroom, new primary bathroom vanity & sink, new tile in guest bath, & recently sealed crawlspace. Uniquely beautiful setting near schools, shopping, and all the action in West Jefferson and Jefferson!
