Priced at $129,000 and coming fully furnished, it offers an affordable way to enjoy mountain life without giving up the little things that make a place memorable. Inside, the owner has made thoughtful updates throughout, including an upgraded kitchen with granite countertops, new AC, new furnace, new water heater, enclosed washer & dryer, a cozy bedroom, and an elevated sitting area that gives the space unexpected character. It's comfortable, cheerful, and proof that you don't need a huge footprint to create a place that feels good to come home to. Outside is where this property really earns its charm. A small creek runs along the property, and the fire pit creates the perfect spot for cool North Georgia evenings. The setting is quiet and peaceful, with walking trails nearby and Coosawattee's dog park within walking distance, making this an especially fun find for anyone whose four-legged sidekick is part of the adventure.
