Are you wondering why this home has been on the market for so long? Realtor.com, Zillow and others have listed it inaccurately as being in an extreme flood risk location. This has been falsely stated by First Street on many homes here in Western NC and it is NOT true. The county and FEMA.gov maps show the home in Zone X unshaded (0.2% chance of flooding). We encountered NO flooding or damage to this home during Helene. We also lost more than several months on the market when Hurricane Helene hit our area. Call me or your agent for the seller's letter. This attractive price leaves plenty of room for updates to suit the buyer’s tastes. As per owner, everything is in good working order and maintained.
