About This Home

As of May 2025

This delightful Blowing Rock cottage, just a stone’s throw from Main Street, offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern sophistication. Originally built in 1901 and completely rebuilt in 2008, it has been thoughtfully designed to capture the warmth of a classic mountain retreat with impressive newly updated improvements throughout.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn in by the breathtaking stone-arched doorways and rich architectural detail. Inside, the home features several types of old timey knotty pine, alder, solid walnut and maple wood, exquisite accents, and two striking stone fireplaces that bring mountain ambiance to every season.
The main level offers easy living with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a cozy living room, a den/office, an impressive kitchen, not to mention a highly coveted soaking clawfoot tub. Every space is finished with care and character. Above the detached one-car garage is a private guest suite complete with a bedroom, full bath, great room, and two built-in twin bunks—perfect for guests or extended family (this 540 sqft. is not included in the total heated sqft.).
Step outside to find covered stone porches in the front and back—ideal for relaxing year-round. The beautifully landscaped gardens feel like something from a dream, with unique perennials and seasonal plantings that provide surprises from Spring through Fall. This one-of-a-kind property was proudly featured on the Blowing Rock Tour of Homes in 2013.
Perfect as a full-time residence or vacation escape, this heartwarming home is a rare find with unmatched charm, location, and style—just steps from the best shopping, dining, and culture Blowing Rock has to offer.
