About this home

Perfect mountain retreat in a treehouse setting!! Charming, quaint and completely updated. Kitchen and both baths have been modernized, new carpet in both main level bedrooms as well as sleeping loft. Deciding whether the screened porch off the dining room or the main deck across the back of the house is your favorite spot is the tough part. The master bedroom has direct deck access, where there's a perfect spot waiting for a hot tub. The main living area features a tongue and groove wood cathedral ceiling, and a gas fireplace with stone surround that adds cozy to the home. A workshop/storage area in the basement are accessed by a paved walk from the main level, or by stairs from the deck. Low-maintenance landscape, with a portion of the back fenced and ready for a pup. This would make a nice vacation rental. Owners and guests enjoy access to all amenities of Rumbling Bald Resort: beach, pools, tennis, fitness center, golf and more!
