This home offers a main level primary bedroom with two other large secondary bedrooms upstairs. The large family/living room area is open to the dining area and the kitchen. The kitchen features an island and stainless-steel GE appliances including a natural gas cooktop, large double-door refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave.

The laundry room is conveniently located down a short hallway off of the kitchen and has a sink. There's a half bath on the main level for your guests when you entertain friends. The upstairs level has two more bedrooms nearly as large as the primary bedroom. The upstairs bath for these two bedrooms is not the typical small afterthought bathroom found in most modern homes. It has double sinks with separate mirrors, upgraded lighting fixtures, lots of storage and a tub/shower with the same subway tile surround found in the primary bathroom. Near the upstairs bedrooms, there is a surprisingly large flex space that would be perfect as a computer area, or a sitting area for visitors. The HVAC for this house is dual zone with separate equipment for each level. Unlike most townhomes, this house has an attached 1-car garage with an electric opener. The builder has added a lot of extra touches not found on most homes such as prewiring in the garage for an electric car charger. The large wraparound 464 sq ft deck that looks out over Burnsville has solar powered lights on each railing post. Before you buy any home in Western North Carolina, you need to see this home.

Check out the arts and crafts produced by one of the largest community of artisans in the US. Catch a play at the Parkway Playhouse, the oldest continuingly operated summer stock theater in the state. If you love the outdoors, Burnsville is the town for you.

Camping is available throughout the area. You'll like the people in Burnsville who are welcoming and helpful if you have questions.
