CHARMING MID-CENTURY COTTAGE WITH HISTORIC STONEWORK, SPRING WATER AND UNIQUE NATURAL FEATURES! Step into timeless character and natural beauty with this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 1700 sq ft cottage set on a generous .60-acre lot. A one-of-a-kind backyard feature--a massive rock formation--offers a striking natural backdrop and a great opportunity for rock climbing practice or creative landscaping. The home's exterior showcases rare, historic Grandfather Mountain stone--no longer available--adding irreplaceable mountain charm. Inside, you'll find original custom grooved redwood paneling in the living room, dining room and halway, as well as beautifully preserved 1950s pine kitchen cabinetry that exudes vintage warmth and character. A cozy wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, while two efficient oil monitor heaters keep the home comfortable through the seasons. Enjoy year-round sunlight in the spacious sunroom-perfect for family gatherings, reading nooks, or casual entertaining. Water is supplied by a decades-old natural spring, shared by 13 homes. This unique and delicious water source is maintained through a strong sense of community, with neighbors working together to keep the system functional and well cared for. Conveniently located close to schools, shopping, restaurants, and all of the High Country's top attractions, this one-of-a-kind cottage offers a rare blend of history, natural beauty, and true community living.
