Welcome to your own slice of heaven here in lovely, serene Katy Creek. This custom built home brings comfort, convenience, and easy maintenance – with natural pizazz. Gorgeous oak floors, tongue-in-groove walls, a lovely and large eat-in kitchen and perfect living room with wood-burning fireplace all conspire to your joy! There’s a ground level two-car garage in the basement, plus a detached oversized two-car garage you can make into anything you choose. Outdoor living is sublime, with natural landscaping and a gentle yard that has several areas for afternoon tea or happy gatherings down by gorgeous, rushing Katy Creek. There’s a brick-paved picnic area with a firepit and nearby woodshed. Two fenced in gardens are ready for your homegrown pleasure. Everything here has been impeccably maintained. Katy Creek is a small, gated community in Eastern McDowell County, halfway between the two charming historic towns of Marion and Morganton. We live among a plethora of artists of all variety, and the South Mountains, Blue Ridge Parkway, Linville Gorge and Asheville are all within a 45 minute drive. This is great living.
