About This Home

Nestled among the trees with beautiful mountain views, 261 Star Ridge Road offers a unique blend of charm, privacy, convenience, and recent updates, all situated on approximately 0.93 acres just minutes from downtown Canton. This move-in-ready home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a flexible floor plan designed to fit a variety of lifestyles.

Use both rooms as bedrooms, or utilize one as a home office, nursery, hobby room, dressing room, or additional storage space. Inside, you'll find numerous updates, including a new mini-split system, new flooring, and an updated kitchen featuring new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. The living room is anchored by an electric fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space to relax and unwind.

Step outside and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting, complete with mature trees, mountain views, raised garden beds, a storage shed, a small playhouse, and an existing chicken coop structure. Sellers have also added a beautiful stone walkway leading from the driveway to the side porch, enhancing both curb appeal and functionality. The property feels tucked away while remaining incredibly convenient, located just minutes from downtown Canton, with easy access to Interstate 40 and approximately 25 minutes from downtown Asheville.

Previously utilized as a long-term rental by the current owners, this home may appeal to investors seeking to expand their portfolio while also offering the comfort and convenience of one-level living for owner-occupants. Whether you're purchasing your first home, downsizing, or searching for an affordable mountain retreat, 261 Star Ridge Road offers flexibility, character, and a location that keeps you close to everything Western North Carolina has to offer.
