About This Home

Perched in the highly desirable Sorrento Skies neighborhood of Blowing Rock, this inviting three-bedroom, 2.5-bath mountain home blends warmth, natural light, and functional living with abundant storage throughout. With coveted southern exposure, the home is filled with sunshine, while expansive windows showcase the peaceful, wooded surroundings. The main living area is highlighted by vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and two stories of glass, creating a welcoming focal point in the great room. The layout flows effortlessly into the kitchen and breakfast area, offering an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. Step out onto the deck from the breakfast area to enjoy fresh mountain air and easy outdoor dining. The well-equipped and newly updated kitchen features generous counter space and a casual dining area, along with a formal dining room and large den. The main-level primary suite provides both privacy and convenience, and includes a spacious closet and a thoughtfully updated bath with dual sinks and a beautifully renovated luxury shower. Upstairs, an open loft offers a cozy reading nook or media space, leading to two additional bedrooms and a full bath with dual vanities. One bedroom is currently used as a sewing room and offers excellent flexibility as a home office, fitness space, or hobby room. From this room, access a substantial 502-square-foot attic—an exceptional storage opportunity not included in the home’s heated living area. A gently sloping driveway leads to the attached two-car garage, ensuring easy year-round access. House is also equipped with a whole-house generator and chair lift for easy access between levels. Ideally located just minutes from the shops, dining, and charm of downtown Boone & Blowing Rock, as well as the scenic beauty of the Blue Ridge Parkway, this home offers a perfect balance of convenience and mountain tranquility. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or High Country retreat, this welcoming property delivers the space, setting, and comfort to fully embrace mountain living.
