About This Home

As of December 2020

There are few homes where you can walk to Main St Blowing Rock in just a few minutes, and then come home to relax on your huge back deck to enjoy the gorgeous long-range mountain views!! This is a gem. A sizable, well-built house with plenty of parking and a large 2-car garage, tucked in the back of a beautifully wooded lot. This home is a great blank slate with the perfect layout, waiting for a buyer's vision for updates to their tastes, featuring a Master suite with 3 closets, 2 more beds and a bath, and laundry all on the first level. Below the basement is mostly finished with another bedroom and bath and large den, and room enough to easily finish another room out for an office/bedroom/bonus and still have room for storage/ a workshop with it's own entrance from the deck. Each level features full house-length decks too! Low-maintenance wooded/rhodo-filled lot for extra privacy. House was just appraised and is priced to sell under 500k!
