About this home
Some houses just make you smile! Welcome to this cute cottage in Upper Beacon Village, where cheerful energy, a practical one-level layout, and a generous yard come together in a home filled with happy memories. Tucked into a double-depth quarter-acre lot, this home offers room to spread out without taking on more house than you need. The level, partially fenced yard is ready for pets, play, gardening, or even an auxiliary dwelling. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms (one currently enjoying life as a craft room), a full bath, and a large, sunny kitchen with an attached laundry room. The footprint is modest, but the personality is anything but. Accessibility is another welcome feature: there's no-stairs access throughout the one-level home, plus an ADA ramp leading to the large deck, extending your living space outdoors. The location is convenient to downtown Swannanoa's restaurants and shopping, with Beacon Park and its unique bike track opening nearby in 2027. It’s true this cottage’s next owner should come prepared to make some upgrades. But for a buyer with vision, this is an opportunity to put some care into a home with character, a wonderful lot, and a convenient location—all at an affordable price. Come see this cheerful little cottage ready for its next chapter!
