About this home

Set in a highly desirable location just across the street from the Marion Lake Club golf course, this inviting property offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and everyday convenience in the heart of Lake James living. Positioned on a 0.70 acre lot with a mix of open yard and wooded surroundings, the setting feels both private and connected, enhanced by beautiful views of iconic Shortoff Mountain and Dobson’s Knob rising in the distance. Inside, the home showcases a distinctive retro charm reminiscent of classic mid century design, with a warm and inviting feel that stands apart from today’s more typical builds. Rich wood tones, unique architectural lines, and an abundance of natural light create a space that feels both nostalgic and full of personality. One of the standout features throughout the home is the extensive use of beautiful stonework, anchoring multiple living areas with timeless texture and character. From the striking fireplaces to interior accents, these details add depth and a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly rare. The main and upper levels offer an easy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating comfortable spaces for gathering and everyday living. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the home provides plenty of room for family and guests. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat, while additional bedrooms and flexible spaces allow for a home office, creative studio, or overflow accommodations. A well designed laundry area and generous storage further enhance functionality. The lower level expands the living space with a partially finished basement featuring a large den, additional bedroom, and full bath, ideal for guests, recreation, or multi generational living. With walk out access, this level connects seamlessly to the outdoors and offers even more versatility. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with covered and open deck spaces that invite you to relax, dine, or entertain while taking in the layered mountain views. Whether enjoying your morning coffee with Shortoff Mountain in the distance or winding down in the evening as the light fades over Dobson’s Knob, these outdoor areas provide a truly special vantage point. Adding to its appeal, the home sits directly across from the Marion Lake Club, a semi private golf course, offering convenient access for golf enthusiasts and a scenic, open backdrop that enhances the overall setting. A dedicated utility space perfect for a golf cart makes it easy to take full advantage of the course, creating an ideal setup for buyers seeking both golf and lake life. Located just 1.7 miles from a public boat ramp and only 0.8 miles from Lake James State Park, this property offers quick and easy access to some of the area’s best outdoor recreation, from boating and fishing to hiking and biking. Combined with nearby marinas and the charming downtowns of Marion and Morganton, this location delivers an exceptional balance of convenience and lifestyle. With over 3,000 square feet of living space, a two car garage, and unmistakable character throughout, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for a full time residence, second home, or investment. For those who appreciate a home with personality, craftsmanship, and a story to tell, this one is truly something special.
