About This Home

As of June 2012

Listed $30,300 BELOW Tax Value! This house served as the rectory for Father Jim, former Blowing Rock Episcopalian rector, while local author Jan Karon was writing the Mitford Series. Her books were based on life in small town Blowing Rock. Current owner/contractor beautifully renovated and restored this very charming property to better than its former glory. This classic beauty has received energy efficient features, granite countertops, wood & ceramic flooring, new kitchen with hickory cabinets, new master bath with whirlpool tub, tons of storage (attic is 16' x 40'), & so much more. House is close to Blue Ridge Parkway, a few miles to downtown Blowing Rock, Parks including Moses H. Cone Park, hiking trails, shopping, and fine restaurants. This home was remodeled by a builder for himself and everything was done above and beyond what was code. A truly gorgeous home either for year round or for a mountain retreat. Large office could easily be a guest room easily accommodating bedroom furniture - excellent flex space.
