About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to this storybook cottage just blocks from the heart of Blowing Rock, offering proximity to fine dining, boutique shopping, museums and churches. Just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, Cone and Price National Parks and Appalachian Ski Mountain. This charming, four-bedroom, four-bath cottage with a single-car garage presents an exceptional opportunity for one-floor living in the Green Park Historic District. It's just around the corner from the legendary Blowing Rock attraction, the namesake of the Village. Although a classic mountain cottage, the home has an open-concept layout and seamlessly integrates a great room anchored by a grand stone fireplace and a light-filled sunroom or dining space — ideal for entertaining. A cheerful kitchen with window to the forest affords the creation of delicious meals. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting. Adjoining the dining area, nestled in the treetops, is a generous deck for outdoor dining and barbecuing. A great place for entertaining and festivities. Enjoy a morning coffee on the front porch framed by mature landscaping and gardens cultivated by a master gardener and filled with native and unusual plants and bushes. It's a private place in nature to unwind, enjoy a book or simply be. The primary bedroom with triple windows is situated on the main level and features an en-suite bath for convenience and privacy. Across the hall is another bedroom, a full bath and a laundry. From the great room, go down the staircase with rhododendron banisters to the lower level. There, you will find a cozy bedroom with built-in bookcases and a large bath. Nearby is a second large bedroom with an en-suite bath that serves as a multi-purpose family room. Go outside and enjoy another large covered and uncovered deck. Plenty of spaces for the separation of generations and for offering privacy to guests. This charming mountain cottage delivers timeless appeal in one of North Carolina's most desirable settings. If you have ever dreamed of an idyllic mountain retreat away from it all, but near all the pleasures of the Blue Ridge Mountains of the High Country, you have found it! The home has been staged, and there is a short list of furniture that will convey at no cost uploaded to the documents. Please note the discrepancy in professional measurements and tax card records. The town of Blowing Rock only maintains permit for six years. SOLD AS IS at $800K.
