A welcoming front porch, complete with a classic porch swing, provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. The home's curb appeal is enhanced by a colorful flower bed leading to the front entrance, along with an apple tree and berry bushes and mature plantings behind the house that add beauty and seasonal enjoyment to the property. A rarity in downtown Lansing, this house features an original carport for a smaller car and a paved driveway behind the house with space for at least 3 vehicles. Off of the dining room is a 8'x24' ground level deck. There is an underground French drain across the property that protects the home from excess moisture. Attached to the house is an unheated, but electrified workshop or studio. There is a large, free-standing garden shed and a fire pit with a movable cooking grate. Inside you'll find spacious living areas filled with natural light, historic details, and the warmth that only a well-loved Craftsman home can offer. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home in front of the propane cast iron stove, this property provides the perfect setting. Located in the heart of the community, you will love being within walking distance of the grocery store, post office, coffee shop, Creeper Trail Park, and the local dog park. Outdoor enthusiasts will especially appreciate the short walk across the street to Big Horse Creek, a renowned and stocked North Carolina heritage trout stream and popular fishing destination known for its scenic beauty and excellent angling opportunities. Offering historic charm, modern livability, and an unbeatable location, this exceptional home is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of mountain-town living.
