## Description

### Agent Description
Cute, comfortable and tucked among the trees in Franklin's Watauga Heights neighborhood! This inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on two lots totaling approximately 1.52 acres, offering extra breathing room, privacy and plenty of space to enjoy the Western North Carolina lifestyle. Step inside to a warm and welcoming interior featuring wood flooring, granite kitchen countertops and charming updates throughout. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, while the living room's wood accent wall adds just the right touch of rustic mountain character. An additional light-filled living area provides flexible space for a den, home office, reading room or cozy spot to relax. Outside is where this property really shines. Start your morning with coffee on the covered screened porch, entertain or grill on the spacious open deck, and enjoy a fenced-in yard that's ready for kids or four-legged family members. Mature trees and the surrounding acreage create a peaceful setting without sacrificing the convenience of being in Franklin. A metal roof, paved parking, two storage sheds plus an additional storage room at the rear of the home provide plenty of space for tools, outdoor equipment, hobbies and all the extras. With 1.52 +/- acres across two lots, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, multiple outdoor living spaces, a fenced yard and abundant storage, there's a lot to love here at $279,000. Whether you're searching for a full-time home or your own little retreat in the mountains, 71 Watauga Heights is ready to welcome you home.
