About This Home

As of September 2026

Nestled in the heart of nature, this charming 3-bed, 3-bath home delivers the warmth and character of mountain living with over 2,000 sqft of quality craftsmanship. Step onto the private front porch for a quiet morning coffee or an evening watching the fireflies. The main level shines with beautiful hickory floors, a cozy living room anchored by a stacked stone wood-burning fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen featuring hickory cabinet and stainless-steel appliances. The main level primary suite is a true retreat with a jacuzzi tub and private double doors opening to the porch. A second bedroom or office and full bath complete the main floor. Upstairs delivers a pleasant surprise — a spacious family room or den, third bedroom, and full bath. Outside, freshly painted log siding (2025), a garden shed, storage shed, and new HVAC (2025-main level) round out this move-in ready mountain home. Conveniently located with easy access to Dillsboro, Sylva, and Franklin — the best of WNC is right at your doorstep.
