Imagine sitting on your covered front porch enjoying postcard-worthy views of horses/ponies peacefully grazing & wandering along the beautiful pasture land across the road.....long range views of mountains & tree farms display a true country setting. Inside, the open kitchen & living room offer a spacious & convenient design. Take your meals in the dine-in area of the kitchen, or indulge in dining alfresco on the covered back deck, just off the kitchen. Beyond the main living area, the owner's suite is tucked away with a thoughtfully designed en-suite bathroom, a huge walk-in closet & laundry. Across the home, two bedrooms share a hall bathroom. Downstairs is enhanced by a finished den or flex room that provides various uses. Ample storage space & double garage are also located in the basement. For additional parking, the driveway has been extended to the like-new storage building, as well. This beautifully maintained home is turn-key and ready for new owners. Location is perfect for living in the country & only a short drive up the mountains, Lenoir & Morganton. Desirable Collettsville Schools sweeten the deal!
