About this home
Picture perfect cottage right in the heart of Black Mountain on almost 1 acre! This remodeled 1923 home boasts incredible charm and a large, flat lot! You can enjoy evenings on the front porch with tons of foliage (including lots of rhododendron) between Montreat Road and the house to offer great privacy. Or have a cookout on the stone terrace out back! There is tons of parking in front and in back of the home, as well as a small creek on the front of the property. With wood floors, a gas fireplace, and lots of natural light, this adorable home is a true Black Mountain gem! Located just 1 mile from downtown, it's an easy walk to town (all on a sidewalk) to enjoy live music, the Black Mountain Tailgate Market, great restaurants, and more! There may be enough space to divide this parcel into 2 lots (see attached survey) and build a house in front. Part of the lot is in the flood plain but not the house. There was no damage from Helene. Home has central heat and A/C that serves the upper level. Main level has a window unit and electric baseboard heat.
