Love the double porches and that kitchen sink. The Husky House was built in 1890. It is located on .88 acres in Bryson City, North Carolina. That is such a great North Carolina mountain town. The Husky House is one of the earliest built in the county. Love their landscaping and the patios. There are original hardwood floors, wainscoting, and bead board walls and ceilings. The home has french doors and original mantels. There are four porches with views of Rockyface and Rich Mountains. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 3,000 square feet. $309,000
