Exquisite Victorian Farmhouse & Income-Producing Estate Near the Blue Ridge Parkway! A masterclass in historic elegance and modern utility! Set on a sunny, southern-exposure lot with easy year-round access, this French-inspired Victorian farmhouse is just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway and Parkway Elementary. Boasting a primary suite, three additional bedrooms, multiple bonus rooms, AND two independent studio apartments, this property is an absolute powerhouse for hosting a crowd, multi-generational living, or generating serious rental income. Incredible Victorian Character & Living Spaces: Step inside to discover a home dripping with architectural charm and thoughtful French-inspired details. The Living Room: Centers around a highly efficient, Rumford fireplace, framed by an authentic, cozy Inglenook and custom built-in cabinetry. The Chef’s Kitchen: Features granite counters, a gas convection stove, a wood-clad dishwasher, a stainless prep table, a massive pantry, and handmade “Fleur de Lis” hardware. Abundant Sleeping Quarters: The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary featuring a walk-in closet, patio access, and a spa-like en-suite with heated tile floors and a rainfall steam shower. The Upper Levels: Spanning two additional stories of whimsical farmhouse architecture, you'll find 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths (one with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a whirlpool tub), plus versatile bonus rooms and cozy reading nooks. (Note: Due to the charming rooflines and varied ceiling heights, an additional 693 sq. ft. across the 2nd and 3rd floors is excluded from the official heated living area—massive bonus space! See measure report). A Horticulturist’s Dream: Step outside into a vibrant, sun-drenched gardener’s paradise. The meticulously curated grounds feature stunning "Appalachian Blues" alongside a rotating canvas of vibrant pink and yellow blooms. Unbeatable Income & Guest Potential: Let this property work for you! The estate features two separate studio apartments with private exterior entrances (one accessed via garage stairs). Currently generating income on month-to-month leases, these turnkey units are outfitted with full baths, refrigerators, induction hot plates, track lighting, and dedicated mini-splits. This is a rare opportunity to own a mountain sanctuary that perfectly blends historic style, massive sleeping capacity, and proven modern function.
