Charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage in the heart of Mars Hill! This ideally located property is just a short walk to downtown, Mars Hill University, the elementary school, walking trails, local shops, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Situated on a spacious lot, the property offers plenty of room for gardening, recreation, outdoor entertaining, or potential future expansion opportunities (buyer to confirm). The home features a full lower-level apartment, creating excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income potential, or housing for university faculty, staff, or students. Live in the main level and rent the lower unit, or explore the possibility of renting both units (buyer to verify with the Town of Mars Hill). A large detached outbuilding provides abundant space for storage, a workshop, hobbies, or additional uses. Conveniently located just 0.5 miles from the Mars Hill University campus, this property offers a rare combination of charm, walkability, and investment potential in one of Western North Carolina's most desirable small-town settings.
