Privacy + Prestige! 'Windy Knoll' is a generously sized (2600+ square feet), ca. 1920 Craftsman bungalow situated on 2.7 acres atop Luke Mountain--with inspiring views of the Alleghany Highlands for miles in every direction. Originally built for the Luke family's estate manager, the 5 BR, 3 bath home's half-timbered exterior was inspired by the design of the neighboring Luke mansion Pen-y-Bryn. One of only 5 homes on the mountain, Windy Knoll retains much historic charm and has been thoughtfully updated with modern electric, plumbing and more (1st floor master suite and breakfast room additions, gourmet kitchen and guest bath renovations, new lifetime-warranty roof in 2017, recent energy efficient windows, solar panels). Paved driveway and parking; 2-car detached garage; garden shed; VIEWS!
