One-owner mountain retreat, gently lived in and beautifully kept, ready for its next chapter. Located in the Blowing Rock School District and just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, the location offers easy access while still enjoying the benefits of a mountain community. The low-maintenance yard has carpets of wild geraniums each spring, mature trees, and big, happy rhododendrons that frame the house like they were always meant to be there. Over 1,200 square feet of covered and open decking anchors the home—perfect for quiet mornings, family gatherings, or just breathing in the cool high-country air. Step inside to instant warmth: knotty pine walls, wide-plank wood floors, a brick wood-burning fireplace, and windows everywhere. The updated kitchen is the sweet spot, with granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet and counter space, making this ample space very high-functioning. The 2009 primary suite addition is a private getaway—a generous bedroom, an adjoining spacious sitting room with a wall of windows (the sellers used it as an office), and a spa-worthy bath updated in 2022. Two more bedrooms and a full bath round out the main level. Downstairs is a drive-under two-car garage, handy half bath, large flexible bonus room, and a proper woodworker’s shop (also added in 2009)—wired, lighted, and ready for the next project. This space will be a delight to any craftsman. The entire roof is new as of November 2024 and was completed by local roofer Thomas Critcher. The HVAC was installed for the main floor in 2018 by Scott Brothers--Trane XL 16I heat pump and air handler. The original warranty expires in 2028 with options through Trane to extend the coverage. Every upgrade is documented; every repair is on file. This is the one-owner mountain home that feels right the moment you walk in. Come see it—it’s special.
