About this home

Sellers is offering a $1,500 credit to buyers at closing for flooring/updates. Looking for privacy, mountain charm, and room to live a little differently? This could be the one you've been waiting for! Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Leicester, North Carolina, this character-filled home offers the perfect opportunity to create your own private mountain retreat, mini homestead, or hobby farm. With plenty of land, privacy, storage, and endless possibilities, there’s room here to bring your vision to life. And yes… bring the goats! The main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with an abundance of fabulous closet space. The home has tons of storage, making it ideal for those who love having room for all the tools, toys, gear, and treasures that come with mountain living. Downstairs, you'll discover a generous bonus area that isn't included in the listed heated square footage because the ceilings fall just shy of the required height. Add in a workshop and even more storage, and you've got space for projects, hobbies, a home workshop, or whatever creative ideas you have in mind. Step outside and let the good times begin. Patios and decks provide plenty of space for entertaining, relaxing, grilling, or simply enjoying the fresh mountain air. Imagine morning coffee overlooking your land, afternoons working in the garden, evenings around the fire, and weekends enjoying the peace and privacy of your own little slice of Leicester. This isn't just a house—it's a place with personality, possibilities, and plenty of room to make it yours. If you've been dreaming of more land, more privacy, more fresh air, and a little more room to live life your way, come take a look.
