Property Description
Steeped in history and timeless character, this beautiful traditional-style home is nestled on a generous .74-acre lot in a quiet Blowing Rock neighborhood. Surrounded by majestic oak trees and mature landscaping, the property has long been admired for its beautiful grounds and stately presence.

A grand stone fireplace, pre-blight American chestnut woodwork, charming stone pathways, and an arched entryway are just a few of the features that give this property its unique character. Don't forget the Koi pond with fish that have weathered many winters! Additional features include an exterior-entry basement bedroom suite, separate guest cottage, and ample parking, offering flexibility for family and guests. The spacious lot and established landscaping provide a sense of privacy while maintaining a convenient location near the Blowing Rock Country Club golf course, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Blowing Rock. Long admired for its beautiful setting and stately presence, this distinctive Blowing Rock property offers a rare combination of character, space, and location. This is a rare opportunity to preserve a piece of Blowing Rock's past while creating its next chapter.
