The home showcases timeless mountain-cottage charm, highlighted by a grand stone fireplace and inviting covered front porch that harken to the days of the leaving the city heat to spend the whole summer in the cool mountains, playing in the community creak or fishing on the community lake. Thoughtful renovations preserve the home's historic character while enhancing everyday livability. Relax on the expansive covered front porch and enjoy cozy short-range mountain views in a storybook setting. Extensive native stonework graces both the home and the beautifully landscaped, certified native wildlife gardens, creating a seamless connection to the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. Recent improvements include a new roof, updated electrical system, new lighting throughout and a new heat pump. The original hardwood floors have been carefully restored, blending historic character with modern convenience. This is a truly special property where history, character, and craftsmanship come together in one unforgettable setting. This home has 2 bedrooms plus an office on the main level, with the lower level being a large studio area with bedroom, sitting area and full bath. Meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready, this home is offered turn-key and can be sold furnished—ideal as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or vacation rental investment. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to nearby adventure, including hiking to Bearwallow Mountain and on to Strawberry Gap, right from your door, plus a short drive to multiple trailheads featuring waterfalls, mountain streams, and sweeping 360-degree mountain views on Bearwallow Mtn. https://youtu.be/urLotv3KZew
