## Description

### Agent Description
A Rustic cabin on the river. Owner completely renovated this home seven years ago. New roof, new wiring, new plumping, new insulated windows and doors. Basically, new everything. The cabin was formally a very lucrative Airbnb with income of 50,000 for nine months. It could be again. Possibilities are endless. It could be a generational home, vacation rental, long term rental or your primary residence. There are three tastefully decorated apartments that can be month to month rentals. A new mini- split was recently installed in unit three. Home is centrally located to all the area attractions people come here to enjoy. Five minutes to downtown Bryson City. This home definitely has a WOW FACTOR! Home comes furnished, and can be opened up as one space, or leave it as three individual living spaces.
