Description

Originally located below what would become the waters of Lake Chatuge, this 100-year old farmhouse is a gem! Well maintained and updated over the last 20+ years by a local GC owner and his wife who made sure the original charm was maintained while addressing the needs of 21st century living! Inside you'll find original trim and moldings alongside new flooring, fans, blinds, lighting and a gas 'fireplace' that can be enjoyed from both the living and dining areas! The kitchen has been opened up and includes granite, new appliances and a deep peninsula ready for breakfast on the run, homework or marathon baking sessions plus the additional space created by the change is perfect for a game area or a traditional 'keeping room' and glass of wine! The bathroom, which is easily expanded, introduces modern granite beside the original cast iron tub with its great scalloped design, all reglazed and was without any need for repair! Upstairs is amazing with a large 'landing' creating an additional bedroom or study/den complete with the original built-in dresser, shelves and cubbies and separates the two large bedrooms. Lots of storage for a home this age from coat and linen closets, larger than expected bedroom closets plus the original cellar that's clean and dry and shows off the original structure. When a 2 X 4 really WAS 2" X 4"! The home is light and bright with both replacement and original windows, and the doors are either original with their hardware or solid wood. In the back you'll find the traditional covered stoop opening to a large yard perfect for summer games, gatherings or a large deck. Walkable to historic downtown Hayesville for concerts, parades and great dining or just relax on the deep covered porch with the breeze. Either way you'll enjoy the old and the new, like the rock foundation with authentic rope mortar and BRMEMC Fiber Optic! This home is ready for its next chapter as a wonderful family home, the perfect quiet retirement spot or in-town getaway!
