Thoughtfully designed to maximize its surrounding scenery, the home frames majestic views of Grandfather Mountain and Shortoff Mountain from nearly every room, as well as from the expansive back patio and screened-in porch. Offered completely move-in ready, this versatile property lends itself beautifully to use as a primary residence, private vacation retreat, or high-potential short-term rental investment. Water enthusiasts will appreciate the added convenience of a deeded, single boat slip — #14 — located at the newly constructed Waters Edge Drive docks. Both the residence and its professionally designed landscaping have been meticulously maintained, showcasing thoughtful care and attention to detail at every turn. Situated within The Arbor, this home offers the ideal balance of secluded serenity and everyday convenience, standing as one of the closest Lake James communities to downtown Marion's shopping, dining, and amenities. Residents can fully embrace an active mountain lifestyle with immediate access to community hiking and biking trails, premier lake activities, and the historic charm of downtown Marion.
