Tucked away in the peaceful community of Etowah, this lovingly cared-for 2bed/2bath, home is a rare find for buyers seeking quality, comfort, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. From the energy-efficient improvements to the stunning outdoor spaces, every detail of this property reflects true pride of ownership. Step inside and enjoy the ease of single-level living in a home that has been freshly painted throughout most of the interior, giving it a clean, welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. The home's energy efficiency sets it apart - featuring insulated, argon-sealed windows that keep the elements out and comfort in, along with extra insulation in both the attic and under the floors for year-round savings on heating and cooling. A generator plug-in is already installed, giving you peace of mind when Western North Carolina's mountain weather rolls in. Outside, the mature, manicured landscaping creates exceptional curb appeal and a serene setting that took years to cultivate. The fully fenced backyard offers privacy and security, and the hot tub - which conveys with the home - makes it an entertainer's dream and a personal sanctuary all in one. After a long day, there's nothing quite like soaking under the western NC stars in your own backyard. For the hobbyist, craftsman, or entrepreneur, the large, clean workshop with electricity is a standout feature that is truly hard to come by. Can easily accommodate motorcycles, wood working, man-cave, she-shed or whatever you can imagine. This is not a flipped house or a quick fix-up - it's a well-maintained, carefully upgraded home that has been genuinely loved and is ready to offer the same to its next owner.
