Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully reimagined, this custom home blends refined craftsmanship with the relaxed beauty of mountain living. Recently renovated with designer touches, it offers a warm, elevated mountain retreat. The property features a rare combination of style and usability, including a large fenced backyard with mountain views, large garage, and partially finished basement with tons of potential. Inside, a large, inviting family room centered around a beautiful stone fireplace creates a cozy gathering space to make memories. Expansive outdoor living includes a wraparound porch and spacious screened porch for year-round enjoyment. Tucked along a quiet road, the setting feels serene, yet remains convenient to local attractions: Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee, the Tuckaseegee and Nantahala Rivers, Darnell Farms, and downtown Bryson City—ranked among the top small mountain towns in the country. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a private mountain escape, or a high-performing short-term rental investment, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Western North Carolina. Make this your basecamp for adventure!
