136 Marion Street, Marion, NC -- In-town living with room to breathe — and an easy hop to I-40. This brick home sits on +/- 1.3 acres, a rare lot size this close to downtown Marion. You get the convenience of city amenities without a cramped city lot. Main Street shops, dining, and events are nearby. Interstate 40 is an easy drive for commutes to Asheville or Morganton. Just down the street is the Peavine Trail, Marion’s 1.5-mile rails-to-trails path — a flat, crushed-gravel route that follows the old railroad corridor from State Street toward Rutherford Road. It is an easy outing for walking, running, or a bike ride, and it sits right in the city limits. Downtown Marion is the county seat known as “Where Main Street Meets the Mountains.” Historic storefronts, local coffee and taprooms, the Saturday Tailgate Market in season, the McDowell Arts Council, and the Joseph McDowell Catawba Greenway are all part of everyday life here. Lake James, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Pisgah National Forest are a short drive when you want the mountains. -- Inside: The main floor offers three bedrooms and rooms that feel large and bright. An eat-in kitchen/dining area makes daily living simple. A formal living room with fireplace gives you a proper gathering space. The layout is straightforward and livable. -- Outside and below: A full basement includes garage space. An attached carport on the upper level adds everyday covered parking. The 1.3-acre lot is the standout — room for garden, play, extra parking, or just privacy you do not usually find this close to town. Brick construction, close town location (but not in city limits), trail access, and interstate convenience. A practical Marion address with more land than most neighbors.
