Cape Cod charm meets mountain-country living on this picturesque 0.40-acre lot overlooking the golf course, Lake Junaluska, and the surrounding Blue Ridge mountains. Hardwood floors run throughout sun-filled rooms where natural light pours in through new Pella windows, warming every corner of this character-rich home.
The main level offers an effortless layout with 2 bedrooms and full bath, a living area anchored by a beautiful bay window and cozy fireplace with a wood stove, and a restored kitchen that honors the home's original character while delivering modern function. Step out to the screened porch and take in panoramic mountain, lake and golf course views that shift with every season.
Upstairs, 2 additional bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable space with a bonus room for guests, hobbies, or a home office. Thoughtful updates — including electrical and plumbing upgrades, renovated bathrooms, and fresh paint — mean the big-ticket items are already handled, so you can simply move in and start enjoying. You'll love the basement bonus room, extensive storage and 2 car garage.
Located directly across from the 18th hole, just minutes from charming downtown Waynesville, and approximately 30 minutes from Asheville, this is a rare opportunity to own a home with genuine character in one of Western North Carolina's most beloved settings.
Live steps from Lake Junaluska — where mornings start with coffee by the water, afternoons mean golf or kayaking, and evenings wind down on garden-lined walking trails. With a lakeside hotel, historic inn, gift shops, and boat rentals all open to the public, this isn't just a neighborhood — it's a lifestyle. Mountain lake living at its finest.
