1951 character. Modern updates. Picturesque mountain views.

Situated on approximately 0.90 acres in Newland, this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a special combination of history, craftsmanship, modern comfort, and picturesque mountain views.
Built like a fortress, the home features an impressive exterior constructed of thick rock sourced from the Grandfather Mountain area, giving it a distinctive character that simply cannot be replicated. Original wooden doors add even more vintage charm, while the interior has been beautifully updated for modern living.

The bright, updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, white sparkle quartz countertops, classic white subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Updated HVAC and gas heat provide year-round comfort.
Recent improvements add even more value, including new gutters with gutter guards, a new water line, and a new septic line. The full basement with cellar provides generous storage for tools, outdoor gear, seasonal items, and more.
