Amazing oasis in the middle of a “bustling” part of Cherokee. The home is filled with excellent amenities, GE appliances, freshly renovated home with granite countertops in bathrooms and kitchen. Keurig AND coffee pot for coffee lovers. Usable and gorgeous wrap around porch with a side fire pit (s’mores included!). The Cherokee call this part of town Painttown and it is right next to Granny’s Kitchen- uber popular buffet with locals. Also about half a mile from Casino. Wheelchair accessible as well. The driveway is steep but well paved, the yard is gorgeous and very large with home located amidst the woods on three sides. The only unfortunate part is being up the road from the nighttime road crew pre0 area. Machinery noise in the evenings starting around 6pm-8pm. Go inside and you can’t hear it. There is liquor store in town, Cherokee reservation is no longer dry!
