Welcome to your slice of the foothills! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on 6.51 private acres just minutes from South Mountains State Park for hiking and a short drive to Lake James. You’ll immediately notice the all-new siding and other thoughtful upgrades, including a vapor barrier in the crawl space, an EV charger, and careful landscaping—trees were intentionally removed to bring in more sunlight while maintaining privacy. The home experienced no hurricane damage, giving peace of mind along with its many updates. A large, cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect spot to unwind on cool mountain evenings, and the home features a private sauna for relaxing after a day of hiking or lake adventures. The flexible floor plan offers potential to create your own large primary suite or other creative space, giving you room to expand and personalize the home to fit your lifestyle. The spacious kitchen with granite countertops and light-filled dining area with windows framing peaceful outdoor views make entertaining and everyday living a joy. The basement offers incredible potential for additional living space, storage, or a workshop. Step outside to a fenced-in backyard with new grading, along with garden beds and fruit trees, perfect for growing your own vegetables or enjoying fresh fruit straight from the yard. With modern updates, acreage for privacy, and unbeatable access to outdoor recreation, this beautiful home delivers the best of Western North Carolina living—peaceful, comfortable, and full of possibility.
