About this home
Buyers can’t believe how much livable space this home provides. As you arrive, the home’s large covered porch immediately welcomes you, showcasing a timeless and classic design perfectly suited to its mountain setting. While the exterior feels quietly elegant, the interior reveals a lower level that’s far more expansive than expected and perfect for hosting large groups. Designed for effortless living, this home delivers low-maintenance comfort—ideal as a refined primary residence, a lovely second retreat, or a flexible investment opportunity. The sellers are motivated and open to strong offers aligned with the home’s quality and setting.
Key Highlights
• True one-level living on the main floor
• Primary suite option 1 with French doors and excellent flow to living and dining areas
• Expansive finished lower level that lives like a second residence
• Multiple lower-level walkouts with abundant natural light
• Three spacious lower-level bedrooms, including an ensuite setup ideal as a second primary suite
• Attached two-car heated garage with gently sloped, paved driveway and abundant lower-level storage
• Wraparound covered porch and lower-level patio overlooking a wooded setting with seasonal mountain views
• Meticulously maintained, cleaned, and absolutely turnkey
The lower level offers a peaceful, private extension of the home that feels distinctly separate from upstairs—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or flexible use. With multiple walkouts, generous ceiling heights, and abundant natural light, this level feels open, inviting, and intentionally designed—not like an afterthought. The finished space offers far more comfort and livability than typically expected, redefining what lower-level living can be. Outside, the gently sloping backyard enhances drainage and usability, and the patio area is ready for a hot tub surrounded by nature.
The home was intentionally designed with grading and construction that promote a dry, comfortable lower level. In addition to the finished living spaces, a substantial unfinished storage “bunker” provides an exceptional amount of clean, dry storage—ideal for outdoor gear, seasonal décor, or a workshop without sacrificing living space.
Built with care and efficiency in mind, the home features enhanced exterior wall insulation, durable hardboard siding, and a dual electric and propane HVAC system for year-round comfort and efficiency. The low-maintenance yard requires mowing only a few times per season, allowing more time to enjoy mountain living. Inside, granite countertops, wood floors and walls, and beautifully finished ceilings on both levels—no drop ceilings—create a warm, cohesive feel throughout the home.
Located in Gingercake Acres, a community gently woven into the forest, the setting is defined by winding roads, rhododendron, and mountain laurel that create a sense of calm and connection to nature. The home offers quick access to hiking trails, vistas, and the protected forest of Linville Gorge Wilderness just minutes away, as well as nearby Linville Falls. Enjoy crisp mountain air at nearly 4,000 feet in elevation and a well-maintained neighborhood with amenities including a swimming pool, pickleball courts, a community center, and woodland walking paths.
For those considering investment opportunities, the property has a strong rental history and is located in an HOA that allows short-term rentals (please note: STR guests do not have access to community amenities).
Beautifully maintained, energy-efficient, and thoughtfully designed, this home embodies relaxed mountain living. Whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, a peaceful vacation escape, or an investment property, it offers a rare blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. Schedule your showing today and experience what makes this home—and this community—so special.
