Tucked onto a spacious corner lot in a quiet Marion loop, this 2002-built manufactured home delivers the square footage and flexibility that so many buyers are hunting for but rarely find in this price range. With 4 true bedrooms, and 2 full baths, it is designed for real life: multi-generational living, work-from-home needs, or simply wanting everyone to have a room of their own. The split-bedroom layout places the generous primary suite on one side of the home and the secondary bedrooms on the other, creating privacy while keeping everyone connected to the shared living spaces in the center of the house. Inside, an open-concept living room invites you to spread out, entertain, and unwind without sacrificing sightlines or connection. The kitchen sits at the heart of the home, making it easy to cook while staying part of the conversation in the adjoining living and dining areas. Four bedrooms mean options: a dedicated office, craft space, playroom, guest room, or all of the above. Two full baths, including a spacious primary bath typical of newer doublewides, support busy mornings and bedtime routines without bottlenecks. Ample closet space and a dedicated utility/laundry area help keep day-to-day life organized and out of view. Outdoors, the 0.86-acre corner lot offers room to roam without overwhelming maintenance. There is space for gardening, pets, or simply spreading out and enjoying the fresh McDowell County air. A screened back porch creates a private, shaded outdoor room—ideal for morning coffee, evening wind-downs, or three-season use when you want to be outside but away from bugs and weather. A large toolshed and additional storage allow you to tuck away lawn equipment, seasonal décor, and gear so the inside of the home can stay uncluttered. Parking is easy, with room for multiple vehicles and everyday comings and goings. This home features a 100 sq ft heated utility room off the carport for hobbies or storage and a whole home generator for added peace of mind. Located just outside town on Luke's Loop, this property keeps you close to Marion’s shopping, dining, and services while feeling distinctly residential and relaxed. You are also within an easy drive of Lake James, regional outdoor recreation, and major corridors connecting you to the rest of Western North Carolina. With its combination of one-level living, generous square footage, flexible floor plan, and usable lot, this home is a compelling option for anyone looking for value without giving up comfort or convenience. The annual HOA dues are solely for private road maintenance, and is a minimal $200/year. There are no other use restrictions. The home is currently occupied, so for showings, contact the listing agent or have your agent consult Showing Time.
