Welcome to the Little Yellow Cottage — a rare 5-star gem! Fully updated! Beautifully restored 2-bedroom, 1-bath 1954 farmhouse offering charm, comfort, and thoughtful updates in a peaceful level setting just minutes from Asheville. Inside, you’ll find a bright and inviting layout with refinished original oak and pine floors, a warm, character-filled kitchen with custom wood countertops, and a fully renovated bathroom featuring a walk-in glass shower and classic finishes. A dedicated laundry room adds everyday convenience, while updated systems—including new roof, HVAC, electrical, exterior paint and more—provide true move-in-ready peace of mind. (See attached list of improvements.) Step outside to enjoy the spacious, level yard with room to relax, play, or gather around the fire pit, along with a covered back porch perfect for unwinding. The wide, level driveway offers easy access and parking year-round—an uncommon feature in the area. Over the past nine years, the property has served as a well-loved 5-star vacation rental as well as a welcoming space for visiting family and friends. Most furnishings and contents are available for separate purchase, offering a unique opportunity for a turnkey setup. Whether you’re looking for a turnkey investment property, full-time residence, or a second home, the Little Yellow Cottage offers a wonderful blend of character, updates, and location.
