The home reflects the fine craftsmanship and style of its era where you’ll find original bead board walls, 12-foot ceilings, wood-framed windows, and plenty of character. Two large stone fireplaces anchor the living spaces, while the inviting covered front porch offers a perfect place to relax and take in the crisp mountain air. Outside, the 3.5 acre terraced yard is a masterpiece of native landscaping—stone walls, winding trails, and lush plantings of rhododendron, boxwoods, and long-established perennials that bloom with the seasons. From the porch enjoy the protected, panoramic southern views of Linville Ridge and Table Rock. This is a true piece of historic Little Switzerland that must be seen to appreciate.
