18 Shady Grove Lane, Blue Ridge

his 2BR/2.5BA traditional one level ranch home is 1,332 sq. ft. on 0.63 acres, with clean and welcoming interiors, and extensive and thoughtful landscaping outside. On the main level you are greeted with a lovely view of the cathedral-style great room, which includes living room and dining areas with stunning pickled tongue and groove wood ceilings, which also has an open concept kitchen. Nearby is the "guest" bedroom and bath, with a fully tiled shower, and a laundry closet in the hall. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, a French-door style refrigerator, and quartz countertops. The master suite is situated in a private end of the home and also has a pickled tongue and groove cathedral ceiling, with the master bath having a fully tiled walk-in shower and large walk-in closet. The upper back deck is accessible from the great room and side yard, and has a permanent awning for cover. It has stairs leading to the flat grassy back yard, which is entirely fenced in, and beneath is another deck with more seating area, with Trex decking. The charming little door which you might think leads to just a crawlspace opens into an amazing 800 sq. ft. +/- bonus space and although the ceilings are less than 6 feet high, there is a finished den with laminate flooring, modern rustic walls, and its own half bath. Past that is a partially floored and well-lit workshop/storage room, which has been used as an art studio by the current owner. This room also includes a mini-split HVAC to keep you comfortable year-round. In the summer, the front yard is bursting with color from the phlox, and the 2-bay garage in the paved concrete driveway provides convenient cover for your vehicles, and some extra storage space. This unique and beautiful home is less than five all-paved miles from Downtown Blue Ridge, about 3 miles to Fannin Regional Hospital, and less than a mile from Old Toccoa Farm, which includes a golf course and tavern.
