Updated mid-century cottage charm right inside the city limits of Waynesville! This lovely home features one level living, high ceilings through the house, a rare flat yard and extra storage spaces. The current owners bought it with update appliances, flooring, kitchen and bathroom, and have continually upgraded the home since then by encapsulating the crawlspace (Nov 2022), updating to a new HVAC (2023), adding roof chimney cricket (2024), and a new water heater (2025). With open floor plan, vaulted ceiling and a fireplace in the living room, this home is spacious and inviting. It also offer all the city aminities and close to shopping, grocery and dining. For nature lovers, you have plenty space for gardening or pets, and close to the Parkway. For full transparency, the 1952 home has signs of historic settling but all have remained perfectly static and unchanged since 2022. While located in a 100-year flood plain (older elevation certificate indicates 2 feet below flood elevation), the home features a spotless, clean CLUE report. Also, the property's superior yard drainage work completely protected the home, keeping it completely dry with zero water ever reaching the structure even during 2024's historic Hurricane Helene. Pre-insepcted. Don't miss this incredibly well-maintained, easy-living cottage in a prime location!
