Aptly named "a stone's throw", this charming ridgetop stone cottage is ten minutes from the center of Blowing Rock, Cone and Price National Parks and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Layered mountain views, a level and gently sloping lot. Perfect for large families and for entertaining. Easy separation of generations. Easy access - just a few steps up to the main level with its living room with a wood-burning fireplace opening into the dining room with adjacent kitchen and breakfast area, laundry and half bath. First-floor bedroom with en-suite bath. Living room opens onto the deck with hot tub, barbecue grill and outdoor dining. Enjoy long-range views of Pisgah Forest with Grandfather looming in the distance. 2nd floor has a large master bedroom with an updated dressing area and shower. Two other bedrooms share an updated large bath. Lower level has a family room, game room, bunk room and large bath. A great home for family gatherings and comfortable guest entertaining. An attached double car garage opens off the kitchen. Short-term rentals allowed - rarely found so close to town. A superb location close to restaurants, shopping, churches, museums, and galleries. In rental program.
