Tucked away in the blue ridge mountains of North Carolina, this home offers a quiet escape while still being part of a close-knit and inclusive community. Enjoy the best of both worlds—serenity and connection—where everyone feels valued and welcomed. This inviting log-sided cabin offers a private, wooded setting and a warm, well-maintained interior. With thoughtful upgrades throughout the years, this home features 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a loft, sunroom and a primary suite on the main floor. The open layout includes two fireplaces, bright windows, and a spacious lower level with a second living area. A two-car garage and a bonus room above the garage provide even more room for hobbies, art, or extra guests. The enclosed back porch off the kitchen is a true highlight, offering the perfect spot for dining, a cozy reading nook, or a charming coffee corner. Relax on the amazing covered porches, where you can soak in the peaceful surroundings and enjoy the soothing sound of a creek flowing below. Right outside your door, community hiking trails await, offering the perfect way to explore nature. The current owners have made extensive improvements over time, including building the two-story detached garage, enclosing the main-level porch, and adding storage space in the loft. The kitchen has been updated and the back porch off the basement was expanded to include a storage shed and dog run. Structural improvements include replacing footers at the back of the home, repairing the septic drainfield and replacing deck boards. Outdoor features include covered decks, garden beds, a fire pit area & ample parking. Although the setting feels remote and tranquil, the property is just 25 minutes from Boone and 10 minutes from Elk Knob State Park—providing access to local hikes, nature, and small-town charm while enjoying the quiet of the mountains. Discover this beautiful mountain home in a neighborhood known for its diversity, inclusivity, and strong sense of community.
