About This Home

Nestled beneath a canopy of hardwoods in the gated Watauga Vista community, this vintage mountain cabin offers timeless charm on 1.49 private acres across three lots. With 3 BR, 2 BA, and 3,222 sq. ft., the home features solid oak floors and rich wood paneling that creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. Vaulted ceilings, a charming loft overlooking the living room, and a brick fireplace capture the essence of mountain living. French doors open to a covered porch spanning the length of the home, while a second porch below provides even more space to enjoy the peaceful wooded setting. The finished lower level offers flexibility with a spacious den, kitchenette, full bath, laundry area, and handsome built-ins, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. A metal roof and detached two-car garage complete the property. This home is ready for its next chapter and offers a wonderful opportunity to update and make it your own. It will need TLC, including a new heating and air and cosmetic updates, but its spacious layout and exceptional setting provide the perfect foundation to restore its full potential. Easy access to the community lake, walking trails, and clubhouse. Being sold as-is.
