[ OPEN HOUSE • SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 • 12:00 - 3:00 PM ] Escape to the historic beauty of the Cowee Valley, where this spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home sits on just over an acre of land and combines the freedom of a "no HOA" lifestyle with the quiet charm of mountain country living. Inside, the main level is designed for both gathering and relaxing. The living room is anchored by a classic brick fireplace with cozy gas logs, flowing effortlessly into the dining room and a well-appointed kitchen. With beautiful granite countertops, a central island, and abundant cabinet space, the kitchen is ready for everything from quick breakfasts to holiday hosting. The primary bedroom offers a private retreat with its own ensuite bath, while an additional bedroom and full bath are conveniently located nearby. Just off the main living space, a serene three-season enclosed porch provides the ultimate spot to enjoy your morning coffee, listen to the birds, or wind down with a book as the sun sets. The versatile lower level expands your living options significantly, making it ideal for guests or multi-generational living. It features a spacious family room, a third bedroom, a third full bathroom, and a flexible bonus room that could easily serve as a home office, gym, or hobby space. A dedicated laundry room with extra cabinetry and an attached one-car garage complete this highly functional lower floor. Outside, the property spans two parcels totaling 1.01± acres, offering a rolling, grassy backyard with plenty of sunlight for a summer garden. Beyond your property line, the surrounding area is rich with Western North Carolina culture and adventure. You are just minutes from the historic Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center, local gem mining, and endless scenic hiking trails. Spend your weekends casting a line or kayaking down the nearby Little Tennessee River, knowing the vibrant shops, breweries, and restaurants of downtown Franklin are always an easy drive away. Desirable location, thoughtful space, and true mountain freedom come together here.
