Set on a generous 1.03-acre lot, a rare find within Sylva's city limits, the property offers the best of both worlds: the space and privacy of a larger lot, plus the convenience of city living.

The main floor bath offers a peaceful retreat with a soaking tub, supplied by a propane on-demand water heater, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A durable propane cast iron furnace keeps things comfortable and efficient through the winter months, while double French doors open onto the front deck, inviting in natural light and creating an easy flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. Location is everything here. Mark Watson Park, the public library, and downtown Sylva's shops, breweries, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Located in the Plott Balsam Mountains of Jackson County, Sylva offers small-town charm with everything you need close at hand. This is a home built to last, in a location that's hard to beat.
