A rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable piece of history—where the timeless beauty of 1911 craftsmanship meets thoughtful modern updates and conveniences. Lovingly maintained for more than 110 years by only four owners, this is the kind of home people fall in love with and never want to leave. The second owner of the property was a mill worker who used the main level as a showroom, this home still lives up to that legacy. Rich architectural details are found throughout, from intricate moldings and trim work to stunning ceiling accents and original hardwood floors—revealing something beautiful every time you walk through.
The covered front porch is pure mountain magic, featuring gorgeous wood decking and a beadboard ceiling—an ideal place to sip morning coffee, gather with friends, enjoy mountain views, or greet neighbors in this charming downtown setting. A private side patio and rare, flat usable yard add even more appeal—something seldom found in the mountains.
Inside, a grand and welcoming foyer sets the tone for the home’s warmth and character. To the left, a gracious sitting room with fireplace and coveted sunroom offer inviting spaces to relax and unwind. To the right, the primary suite provides a luxurious retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring heated floors, a steam shower, clawfoot tub, and dual vanities.
The thoughtfully renovated kitchen blends historic charm with modern function and includes a large island, multiple sinks, beverage refrigerator, abundant storage, and ample space for gathering. Upstairs, the character continues with original beadboard walls and ceilings, creating warmth and charm throughout. Four additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for guests, home offices, exercise rooms, or creative spaces. A second full bath features heated tile flooring, a separate shower, and clawfoot tub.
The detached two-car garage offers excellent storage, while the apartment above presents incredible versatility and income potential. Successfully operated as an Airbnb for years, averaging approximately $25,000 annually, this beautifully finished space can offset your mortgage or serve as an in-law suite, private office, guest retreat, or rental opportunity. Complete with a private parking space, deck, open-concept living area, kitchen, and full bath, the apartment is topped with stunning vaulted ceilings finished in reclaimed chestnut wood salvaged from the property’s original carriage house.
