875 Mills Gap RoadFletcher, NC 28732Price: $296,000

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees, 875 Mills Gap Road feels like a little oasis of its own. This 1959 home offers two bedrooms and one full bath on the main level, with hardwood floors, warm wood-paneled walls and a vintage kitchen full of character. Then step outside and the setting really shines wtih an open lawn, established and ornamental trees including weeping cherry trees, several garden beds, a fire pit, covered outdoor space and a creek. All this creates a peaceful backdrop for gardening, gathering or simply slowing down. If getting out is on the agenda, you are 15 minutes or less to Asheville, Arden, & Fairview and just a few more minutes to vibrant Hendersonville. The lower level is not included in the home's heated living area as ceilings are under 7 ft and no permits were found for the bathroom. The basement offers substantial bonus and flex space, including laundry and utility areas, a bath with separate shower, and additional rooms for hobbies, exercise, storage or other uses. The basement is mostly finished with flooring and drywall already in place and is only awaiting your unique touch. So much valuable space! Connected to city water and records show the septic system was updated in 2005. The Property is located in a designated flood zone and flood insurance has been required. This home would make an excellent long or short term rental or terrific primary residence or second home. It sits in the highly sought after school districts of Cane Creek Middle and T C Roberson High School. A simple home, a wonderfully green setting, and an unexpected sense of retreat, all in Fletcher.
