Country Craftsman on 25+ Acres near Philpott Lake. Unique offering! This charming 1940s country Craftsman is situated not far from town on a BIG private tract of land with 25.7+/- acres. If you’re looking for a cardboard cookie-cutter house, don’t even call, because this one is a bit rough around the edges. Its got character you wont find in any subdivision though, and we are doing some plastering work and a few repairs that are needed so its being offered as is. It’s on one level with spacious rooms, rich hardwood floors, replacement windows, an enclosed back porch, masonry fireplace with lucky horseshoe, and a front porch that’s perfect for your rocker. The landscaping is mature with a paved driveway and rows of boxwoods. The kitchen is basic but has everything you need with lots of cute built-ins. Includes a nice detached two-car garage. Down over the hill there’s a cute stone table with benches and an outdoor fireplace for those perfect summer evenings. The land is mostly wooded with tall trees and some pasture. Owner can finance with easy down payment and 30-year terms, agents are welcome. Close to Philpott Lake, Smith River, and Fairystone State Park. Perfect for a snowbird getaway! Equal Housing Opportunity.
