Now presenting 120 Ed Young Road, a 2011 Clayton home so well kept that it lives ALMOST LIKE NEW, set on a permanent foundation with LONG BRANCH running across the front of the property. Three bedrooms, two full baths and 924 square feet, with every foot put to good use, on just under 1 acre of land. Settle onto the large covered front porch, with room for a full dining table and a pair of rockers, and listen to the branch while the mountain air does the rest. Inside, vaulted ceilings and wood laminate flooring run throughout. The living room opens to the dining area and a well-appointed kitchen with abundant cabinetry. Central heating and air conditioning keep the home comfortable in every season, with a backup gas unit in the dining room for added peace of mind.
