About this home

This impressive mountain home offers year-round mountain and Lake Lure views, along with so many desirable features that you truly must see it in person to experience it all. The great room showcases a lofty A-frame cedar ceiling that perfectly frames the long-range mountain views.

You’ll love the Tuscan-inspired kitchen, featuring cherry cabinetry, leathered Brazilian granite countertops, a live-edge island, abundant storage, built-in appliances, and lighted display features.

MAIN FLOOR LIVING! The laundry and primary bedroom are conveniently located on the main floor—and yes, both the bedroom and bathroom offer stunning long-range views. The primary suite includes his-and-hers walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom featuring a walk-in tiled shower and unique, locally crafted hand-thrown pottery sinks that highlight the region’s rich artisan culture and craftsmanship. Enjoy the large screened-in porch just off the primary bedroom. With mountain views from nearly every room, this home truly brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.

Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, along with a large shared bathroom featuring a walk-in shower finished by a local artisan.

Need more space? No problem! The unfinished basement is already plumbed for an additional bathroom and offers ample room to expand, with ceilings mostly over 8 feet high (except at duct work). With its own separate entrance and driveway, it’s ideal for creating a private guest suite or additional living quarters.
