Built with care by its original owner, this custom-designed home brings together quality craftsmanship and an unbeatable in-town location. Set on a generous 1.03-acre lot, a rare find within Sylva's city limits, the property offers the best of both worlds: the space and privacy of a larger lot, plus the convenience of city living. Step inside and you'll notice the details right away: warm hardwood floors underfoot, a striking tongue-and-groove ceiling overhead, a kitchen full of custom cabinetry and other thoughtful custom touches like built-in bookcases, the kind of details that only come from a home designed and built by its owner. The main floor bath offers a peaceful retreat with a soaking tub, supplied by a propane on-demand water heater, perfect for unwinding after a long day. A durable propane cast iron furnace keeps things comfortable and efficient through the winter months, while double French doors open onto the front deck, inviting in natural light and creating an easy flow between indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation. Location is everything here. Mark Watson Park, the public library, and downtown Sylva's shops, breweries, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. Located in the Plott Balsam Mountains of Jackson County, Sylva offers small-town charm with everything you need close at hand. This is a home built to last, in a location that's hard to beat. This is your chance to put down roots in one of Western North Carolina's most walkable, welcoming towns.

ALL OFFERS DUE MONDAY 3/16 by NOON. Tucked into the mountains of Sylva, this charming cabin retreat is as rare as it is special — and the investment opportunity is equally compelling. No community rental restrictions mean you can operate short-term rentals freely, making this an outstanding income-producing property from day one. A gated community provides peace of mind. Or live here full time and enjoy the change of seasons! Each June, the property comes alive with Blue Ghost fireflies — a phenomenon found in only a handful of locations worldwide. These ethereal, blue-glowing insects draw visitors from across the country and create a truly unforgettable experience. The cabin itself delivers everything buyers and guests want in a Western North Carolina mountain retreat. Warm solid wood floors, skylights, and a flexible Murphy bed in the second bedroom create a bright, functional interior. The showstopper is the 400 sq ft wraparound porch with layered winter mountain views — perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. A classic fire pit with a flat yard, rounds out the outdoor living experience. This property is truly move-in and rental-ready. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with custom butcher block countertops, all new appliances, a new sink, and added shelving. The bathroom has been updated, and the laundry room features new walls, ceiling, and custom shelving. Infrastructure upgrades include a new pressure pump, significant under-house plumbing improvements with full pipe insulation, and a bear-proof outdoor trash container — a practical and appreciated touch in this mountain setting. Whether your buyer is seeking a turnkey STR investment, a second home, or a full-time mountain escape — this property delivers privacy, charm, and income potential in one of WNC's most beloved communities.
