Offering more than 2,800 square feet of luxury living space and sold fully furnished, this creekside retreat blends modern comfort with timeless mountain charm and stands out as one of the best values in the community at $424 per square foot. The main level features a stunning open-concept layout with a cathedral-ceiling great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with a striking rock backsplash and oversized island, a spacious dining area for larger gatherings, and a covered outdoor deck complete with its own fireplace and tranquil wooded views. The primary suite is also on this level and offers generous closet space and a beautifully finished en suite bath. Upstairs, a large loft provides an ideal space for lounging, gaming, or working, along with an additional sleeping area and full bathroom. The lower level is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring a family room that opens to a second expansive deck with a hot tub and seating area, along with a bedroom, a bunk room, and another full bath. Although listed as a two-bedroom home, there are 4 sleeping areas, allowing it to sleep up to twelve comfortably, which has contributed to its strong vacation-rental performance with Carolina Cabin Rentals.
