About this home
Welcome to 20 Rushing Waters Loop in Andrews, NC -- a beautifully finished 2-bedroom, 2-bath mountain retreat where a roaring, trout-filled creek runs right along your back door. Perched on approximately 0.15 acres backing directly to Tatham Creek, this home delivers the sights, sounds, and lifestyle that make Western North Carolina living so sought-after. Step inside to find solid oak flooring throughout, soaring high ceilings, and striking chalet-style trapezoid windows that flood the home with natural light. The kitchen features solid granite countertops, and both bathrooms are finished with beautiful tile work. Energy-efficient construction keeps the home comfortable and costs low year-round -- this is mountain charm with genuine quality underneath it. But the real showstopper is what's out back: Tatham Creek runs loud and lively along the rear of the property, filled with trout and never quiet. Fall asleep to rushing water, wake up to it with your coffee -- this is creekside living at its most authentic. Andrews sits in a stunning mountain valley ringed by the Snowbird Mountains, and this home puts you minutes from town while keeping you fully immersed in the outdoors. Surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, you're close to hiking, camping, boating, and some of the best whitewater in the Southeast. The Nantahala Outdoor Center and Nantahala River are about 25 minutes away for weekend rafting and kayaking, and trout fishing is practically outside your door. Often called ''two hours from everything,'' Andrews offers peaceful mountain living within easy driving distance of Atlanta, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Asheville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg -- the quiet of the mountains without sacrificing access to the cities and attractions of the Southeast. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a family retreat, or a getaway that puts you in the middle of the action, 20 Rushing Waters Loop combines quality finishes, a rare creekside setting, and unbeatable access to everything Western North Carolina has to offer. Come see it -- and hear it -- for yourself.
