Welcome to a truly special mountain home where timeless character, natural beauty, and an inviting layout come together in one exceptional setting. From the moment you step through the front door, you’ll be captivated by the warmth and charm of the beautiful Grandfather Stone fireplace, creating a stunning focal point for the spacious open-living area. Imagine cozy evenings gathered around the fire or entertaining family and friends in this inviting mountain retreat. Just beyond the dining area, the kitchen and laundry room provide convenient access to the rear patio, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. The patio offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining, relaxing, or entertaining while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The home features a comfortable guest bedroom and bath, while the generously sized primary suite offers a private retreat complete with an oversized walk-in closet. Just beyond the primary bedroom, step into the beautiful glass-enclosed sunroom—a versatile space offering endless possibilities. Create a cozy sitting area, private office, reading retreat, hobby space, or an additional entertaining area that opens the door to your own vision of mountain living. Outside, the magic continues. The spacious, level front yard and backyard is highlighted by a massive natural rock outcropping at the upper portion of the property, creating a storybook setting that truly sets this home apart. Whether enjoying the patio, gathering around the fire, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, this property offers a wonderful connection to nature. Convenience is another exceptional feature. With a paved driveway, level yard, 1 Car Garage and additional Carport with direct access to a state-maintained highway, this home offers easy year-round accessibility—including during the winter months. And with a location just minutes from Linville, Newland and the Blue Ridge Parkway, you’ll be close to the restaurants, shopping, outdoor recreation, and amenities that make the High Country such a desirable place to call home. 554 square feet of the total square footage may not be included in an appraisal due to no heat source in the kitchen and primary bedroom. Quotes for Crawl Space Repair are available. Price reduction reflects repairs.
