The established grounds, mature trees, and native rhododendron create a sense of privacy and permanence that only comes with time. This beautifully situated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence features desirable level entry and an oversized two-car garage with additional floored storage above.

A COZY GREEN HILL COTTAGE WITH GORGE VIEWS, A GREAT LOCATION, AND LOTS OF POTENTIAL! Despite having a May 2026 Sweeting appraisal for $1,400,000, Sellers are motivated and are allowing a generous amount for updating. This charming traditional mountain cottage has functioned as a primary home with a rented guest apartment for decades. That use is "grandfathered" (see discussion), so you could continue that use or reclaim the space as a single family home. This is a neighborhood that encourages and applauds significant renovation (see recent Tour of Homes featured lineup!) and is just a golf cart ride away from the Blowing Rock Country Club clubhouse. The main level features an expanded living area that offers access to the gorge-view deck but also a cozy fireplace area with an antique mantel. The Primary Bedroom has its own small deck to enjoy the gorge view. The guest bedroom has its own bath. The kitchen and dining spaces have been important for this particular family. Appliances have been selected for their function and VERY well-used. The cozy, one-level living space allowed these sellers to settle in comfortably for decades. The lower level has independent access (though it could be connected with the addition of an interior stairway). It had been used as a separate rental apartment for decades prior to these owners' purchase and also features gorge views, a separate deck, and a separate parking area and entrance. Its living area had nice views, is L-shaped and includes a generous dining space and to the second kitchen with all appliances - electric range, microwave venthood, refrigerator, dishwasher - and lots of cabinet storage. There is an additional half bath here for visitors. A large bedroom with nice views leads to a full bath, a large closet, and the downstairs laundry room with the second set of laundry appliances included. Though a bit dated, this space has served its function well for decades. The tenant would be content to stay, but has a lease with a 30-day notice. Though no septic permit was found, the sellers have never had trouble with the existing septic tank and were not required by the Town to connect to the sewer system even though it is available for connection. This old Blowing Rock neighborhood just continues to improve. Now you can be part of it!
