Nestled in the heart of Canton, this beautifully maintained historic cottage effortlessly pairs timeless 1938 character with modern comfort. Bathed in natural light from over a dozen expansive windows, the main level features original hardwood floors, elegant archways, and a spacious living room centered around a custom-built mahogany mantle and gas fireplace. A dedicated 7x7' home office offers an inspiring workspace complete with its own wood fireplace, while the updated kitchen flows seamlessly into a fully screened-in porch and out to an expansive entertaining deck.
The property offers exceptional versatility with an unpermitted, fully finished lower level featuring a private exterior entrance. Complete with a second kitchen, bathroom, and two bonus rooms, this additional finished space provides immense potential for a private guest suite, multi-generational living, or long-term rental income.
Outside, the fully fenced backyard is an intentional oasis of mature flower gardens, an herb garden, and fruit trees, all framed by beautiful mountain views. Complete with a newer HVAC system (2022) and a brand-new roof, this turnkey home offers private mountain tranquility just a short stroll from downtown Canton's local dining and riverfront parks, and a convenient 20-minute drive to Asheville.
