OVER 3,000 SQ FT HOME ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE LIBRARY! You'll be hard pressed to find something nicer at under $85/sq ft. And have you looked at costs to construct? This has that space you have been looking for at a bargain price. Have your agent run a search for you and see if they can find anything even close to comparable that isn't a trailer at that price per square foot. Not to mention this place was built 100 years ago when they cared about the details. Built-ins, tall ceilings, nooks, half-hexagon windows, amazing wood floors, etc. This place oozes with character. The front of the home is south facing so on those long winter days light floods the living room. You just have no idea how good that is for the soul. The location is incredible as well. The home is directly across from the library. You don't get much better neighbors. And it is only a 2 or 3 minute walk to the cute little shops and restaurants of downtown Spruce Pine. Take a look and make an offer! Agent is broker/owner.
