Storybook Cottage Just Minutes from Downtown Blowing Rock.
Nestled on a serene, flat lot just a short walk to mainstreet, this enchanting one-level cottage—originally built in 1930—has been thoughtfully and thoroughly updated while preserving its timeless character. Fully furnished (with a few exclusions), it's a rare blend of historic charm and modern elegance.
Step inside to find a cozy living room with vaulted ceilings and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace. Original beadboard, warm hardwood floors, and curated tile and carpet accents evoke a sense of heritage, while the modern kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a generous island, and stylish finishes ideal for hosting friends and family.
The home features three spacious bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms, offering both a tub and shower options. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with multiple decks and a covered front porch perfect for enjoying summer evenings and the soothing sounds of the nearby headwaters creek.
An oversized two-car garage and ample driveway provide convenient parking, while mature landscaping enhances the sense of privacy and peace.
