About this home
With the authentic and timeless appeal of one of Gingercake Acres' original mountain cottages, this 3BR/2BA beauty brings all the charm! Secluded and private, it sits on a 1.37 acre double lot at approximately 3,500 Ft elevation with spacious, level outdoor areas bordered by beds of wildflowers. Feather-edge siding, warm knotty pine walls, wood floors, beamed ceilings, a wood-burning stone fireplace, skylights, and original retro baths give this cottage the kind of character you just can't recreate. Native rhododendron, mountain laurel and woodsy views from every oversized window. Envision cool mountain mornings on the side screened porch which opens to a freeform deck that follows the curves of the little mountain stream! Separate free-standing single garage with attached woodshed plus a laundry/workshop/storage room. Bring your mountain adventure gear because Gingercake Acres borders the Pisgah National Forest and the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area. High speed Spectrum fiber internet is available. To be sold mostly furnished with the exception of personal items and the corner cabinet in living room. Don't miss the neighborhood recreation area with heated pool, tennis/pickle ball, and rustic clubhouse.
