Property Description
The Victorian I-plan home features an iconic two-tiered porch and an adjacent guest cottage, originally crafted by local artisans using native chestnut, pine, and Grandfather Mountain stone. Recently recognized with a historic marker designation by the Historical Society, the property reflects both architectural significance and cultural heritage.
Set on a rare 1+ acre parcel in town, the property includes the main residence, guest cottage, charming Victorian playhouse, and exquisitely maintained gardens. The home has been carefully preserved to maintain its original heart pine floors, railings, and historic footprint, along with four working period-style fireplaces.
Additional features include tasteful finishes, premium appliances, a whole-house generator, and an encapsulated crawl space for enhanced comfort and efficiency. The expansive, level grounds showcase towering landscaping and exceptional gardens, including shaded walking paths, Victorian flower gardens, herb and white gardens, trellises, and wooded lawns. Abundant parking and a third-floor playroom bonus space complete this singular in-town mountain retreat.
