About This Home
As of July 2025Spacious, Updated, and Beautifully Located, this Blowing Rock home backs directly to protected Blue Ridge Parkway land and offers direct access to the Mountains-to-Sea Trail—all just minutes from Main Street and the Blowing Rock Country Club. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home sits on a low-maintenance 1.56-acre lot filled with native rhododendrons, mature trees, and lush ferns. Two oversized decks provide the perfect setting to enjoy the peaceful natural surroundings. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, multiple bonus rooms, and a fully finished lower level with flexible living space. The showstopping, fully renovated chef’s kitchen features a large island, GE Cafe appliances (including wine chiller & double oven), and abundant counter space—ideal for gatherings and everyday living. It opens seamlessly to the breakfast nook, formal dining room, and an inviting living room with vaulted ceilings. The living room features a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and a charming arched pass-through. Upstairs, all four bedrooms await, including a spacious primary suite with a luxurious, remodeled bath—soaking tub, custom tiled shower, dual vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Downstairs, the finished basement includes a full bath, two bonus rooms, and a large flex space—perfect for recreation, guests, and a home gym. The oversized three-car garage features a new epoxied floor, and major updates provide peace of mind: new roof (2023), new heat pump (2023), tankless water heater (2024), kitchen and primary bath remodel (2025), crawlspace encapsulation (2021), and updated grinder pump/control system (2025).
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or an upscale mountain getaway, this exceptional property offers the ideal blend of luxury, location, and lifestyle—just moments from Blowing Rock’s shopping, dining, trails, and community events.
