Nice home with lots of possibilities. Newer updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and custom cabinets. The home has an open floor plan with hardwood floors throughout. Property is surrounded with appealing landscaping and mature trees. This would be great home for a primary residence, vacation home or an income producing rental property. Close to all that Black Mountain has to offer. From the planning board & buyer to verify"Looking at the lot and based on the zoning of TR-4 (town residential), the maximum number of lots would be 13. This does not take in account the existing house or any other encumbrances (i.e., sewer lines, easements, streams, etc.).One to four lots would be considered a minor subdivision and would be approved by staff.More than four lots would be considered a major subdivision and would have additional requirements such as roads, open space requirements, pedestrian circulation, and would have to be approved by the Planning Board."
