Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this beautifully renovated 1920s Chestnut Hill cottage. Originally constructed as a family and executive retreat associated with the Hanes Underwear Company, the home showcases timeless mountain-cottage charm, highlighted by a grand stone fireplace and inviting covered front porch. Thoughtful renovations preserve the home's historic character while enhancing everyday livability. Relax on the expansive covered front porch and enjoy cozy short-range mountain views in a storybook setting. Extensive native stonework graces both the home and the beautifully landscaped, certified native wildlife gardens, creating a seamless connection to the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains.
Recent improvements include a beautifully renovated kitchen and bathroom, a new roof, updated electrical system, and a new heat pump. The original hardwood floors have been carefully restored, blending historic character with modern convenience. This is a truly special property where history, character, and craftsmanship come together in one unforgettable setting. This home has 2 bedrooms plus an office on the main level, with the lower level being a large studio area with bedroom, sitting area and full bath.
Meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready, this home is offered turn-key and can be sold furnished—ideal as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or vacation rental investment. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to nearby adventure, including hiking to Bearwallow Mountain right from your door, plus a short drive to multiple trailheads featuring waterfalls, mountain streams, and sweeping 360-degree mountain views on Bearwallow Mtn.
