Blowing Rock, NC 28605
Description
A classic Blowing Rock cottage less than a mile from Main Street, offering single-level living, a one-car garage, and mid-century charm - homes like this don't come available often. Located within the Blowing Rock town limits off Sunset Drive just up from Highway 321, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits an easy trip from Main Street's shops, restaurants, and Memorial Park. Start your mornings on the covered flagstone rocking chair porch overlooking the professionally landscaped front yard and stacked stone walls. Step inside to an inviting living room where the original floorplan retains the character of the home - warm wood paneling, a gas log fireplace, and large windows that fill the space with natural light. The living area flows to the dining space, with plenty of room to gather friends and family after a day in town. The kitchen adds a fun retro touch with distinctive Big Chill appliances, granite counters, and a reach-through that keeps you connected to the living room. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite full bath, while two additional cozy bedrooms and a second updated full bath complete the living space. The attached one-car garage houses the washer and dryer and provides additional storage. Out back, a secluded patio offers a quiet spot to unwind and take in the mountain air. The home has been cared for well beyond the surface: a new roof and two mini splits added in 2021, a professionally engineered retaining wall and drainage system, and an encapsulated crawlspace with sump pump below. The paved driveway, part of which is being used in the photos as outdoor space, can accommodate multiple cars and there is a parking spot to the right of the garage. This is a quiet street and there is not HOA. This is a rare opportunity to own in Blowing Rock, one of the High Country's most sought-after mountain towns. Short-term rentals of less than 30 days are not permitted within the Blowing Rock town limits.
