About this home

A peaceful mountain retreat nestled among the trees, offering privacy, comfort, and easy living in the heart of Western North Carolina. This well-maintained home, just 14 years old, offers the appeal of a newer home with thoughtful updates and features designed for everyday enjoyment. The main level offers a desirable primary suite with a spacious bath featuring both a walk-in shower and soaking tub, along with his-and-her closets. The inviting kitchen flows into the living area, where a wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy gathering space. A convenient laundry room and half bath complete the main level. Upstairs, a flexible den/office provides space for work, hobbies, or relaxation, while two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer comfortable accommodations. Abundant closets and generous storage tucked into the upstairs eaves provide plenty of room for belongings. Recent improvements include luxury vinyl flooring added in 2024 and a new refrigerator, range, and dishwasher in 2024. The spacious deck has been recently restained and offers a wonderful place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the wooded surroundings and lovely views. A fenced portion of the yard provides designated outdoor space for pets. The home also features Trane heating and air systems, a radon mitigation system, spacious two-car garage, and Hardy board siding for a durable, low-maintenance exterior. The septic system was pumped in 2025. The flat driveway can accomodate several cars for ample parking outside of the two car garage.
