Mountain charm meets modern comfort in this bright retreat featuring wide plank pine floors, bead board wainscoting, wood details, and built in shelving throughout. Walls of windows flood the home with light, while a spacious deck and a freestanding gas stove with a stone surround set the scene for cozy gatherings. The updated kitchen shines with modern upgrades including a stone backsplash. Upstairs offers two bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with two closets, an en suite bath with tile shower and vessel sink, plus a private deck. The second upstairs bath features a tub with tile surround. The walkout basement has large windows for more great light, a second living space or bedroom, and bonus room. Here you’ll find a third bath with tile shower, and a spacious laundry room. A standout addition, formerly the carport, is fully enclosed and framed into two large rooms, with windows and exterior door, ready for your vision! This addition is ideal for expansion or a separate guest space with its own entrance. A previous water line leak led to some water intrusion in the basement, and the water line has been replaced along with nearly all of the downstairs flooring. A small area is not fully complete, though the flooring is on site so it can easily be finished. Enjoy a huge yard with flat play areas, seasonal Grandfather Mountain view, and an unbeatable location near some of the area’s best hiking trails, Moses Cone, Price Lake, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and just 10 minutes to the heart of Blowing Rock! Short term and long term rentals allowed, though home must be rented in its entirety. Seller is a licensed real estate broker.
