152 Bearwallow Subdivision Rd., Gerton, NC 28735

This charming cottage is permeated with light. It offers a massive covered front porch and a covered back porch from which to soak up the peaceful beauty of the mountain landscape and soothing sounds of a nearby creek. Also, there’s a lovely separate 1BR basement unit that grossed over $13,000 in 2018 as an Airbnb rental (“Bearwallow Hideaway”). The spacious, open-plan living space is highlighted by gleaming hardwood floors and a gorgeous stone fireplace with wood-burning stove. The large kitchen features a generous island and a Frigidaire convection oven/stove. It opens to the large dining room/living room and long wall of windows that makes you feel like you live in the trees. The main level has two bedrooms, one with a half-bath. The second bedroom is down the hall from the full bath. The lot is peaceful and beautiful. There’s a detached garage with a workshop to work on those hobbies. The neighbor is building a beautiful new barn behind the garage, which will add to the charm.
