About This Home
Quintessential Blowing Rock charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully restored 1924 cottage, ideally situated on a rare and expansive ~0.84-acre lot just moments from Blowing Rock Country Club and within walking distance to downtown.
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home seamlessly blends historic character with modern comfort, featuring heart pine floors, abundant natural light, and a renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and warm wood ceiling detail. The main level offers a welcoming, functional layout with spacious living and dining areas, multiple gathering spaces, and a bedroom with easy access to a full bath—ideal for guests or main-level living. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and flexible living space perfect for an office, lounge, or play area.
Full of personality and charm, the home features unique design elements including a classic clawfoot tub, French doors, and inviting, well-styled interiors throughout. Outdoor living is equally appealing with a covered front porch, side deck, private yard, mature landscaping, split-rail fencing, and a natural spring/creek feature.
A true standout is the detached garage/shop, offering exceptional space for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, storage, or workshop use—a rare find this close to town. The large, usable lot also presents an exceptional opportunity to expand the existing home, create additional outdoor living areas, or explore future improvements, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, and approvals.
Additional highlights include city water and sewer, permitted long-term rental potential, and a pastoral setting with room to grow. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled mountain home with modern updates, versatile living space, expansion potential, and an unbeatable Blowing Rock location.
