Located in the northwestern mountain region of North Carolina you will find Alleghany County, population 11,000 +/-. Alleghany only has one incorporated town, Sparta, population 1800+/-. At the southernmost tip of the county, just north of Stone Mountain State Park is the community of Roaring Gap, home to 3 exceptional residential golf clubs.
This listing is in High Meadows Golf and Country Club. HMCC was developed in the 60’s. Club memberships are available through the club, however a membership is not required for property ownership.
488 Meadow View Rd is at the intersection of two dead end streets, other than golf carts, neighbors walking and local service providers, there is very little traffic.
The home is a very well maintained 1990 vintage ranch with an attractive roof design which detracts from the typically linear appearance of homes of this style. Total finished area is 2,528 sq ft with a heated unfinished area at the lower level of 820 sq ft., according to the county tax records. The condition appears to be original with no extensive renovation being obvious, which is typical for homes in the area which have been utilized as second home properties.
The main level offers one level living. The living area of the great room features a vaulted ceiling with wood beams, hard wood flooring, a beautiful stone woodburning fireplace with a raised stone hearth built in the traditional high-country style. There are plenty of windows for natural light, with direct access to the deck at the rear of the home. A great place to enjoy morning coffee or to gather with friends and neighbors. There is a nice mirror backed wet bar for entertainment, and ample dining space for a group, The kitchen features lots of what appear to be shop built cabinets with a really nice traditional stained finish, which offer lots of storage and prep space. The countertops appear to be updated mostly black which blends well with the black appliances.
The master suite is quite roomy, which allows space for a sitting area. The bathroom in all white is quite large with both a tub and separate shower. Double lavatories and lots of storage make this a very nice space. The guest bedroom is roomy as well and has a bath which is shared with the great room.
The lower level consists of a den, two bedrooms with a full shared bath. In addition to the lower-level living space there is also a workshop / mechanical area of 820 sq ft +/- which could be renovated into additional living space. It is possible to add a powder room, dining area and small kitchen which would transform this area into an independent living space for a family member. The walk out nature of the lower level could eliminate the need for traversing stairs.
As you see there is a lot to appreciate about this property. Please call for an appointment to view it today.
