580 Flying Hawk Trl Waynesville, NC 28786

This isn't your average mountain home, and it's not trying to be. Tucked inside the gated Villages of Plott Creek on just under 1.5 usable acres, this elegant three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath mountain retreat has been dramatically transformed, and it shows the moment you enter. It starts underfoot, where hand-scraped hardwood carries warmth and quiet through every room and into a kitchen built around a new oversized island, granite countertops, and a new built-in bar with custom cabinetry. This is a kitchen that makes you want to cook and gather, where people stay long after dinner to take in the view and enjoy the warmth of good company. From here, the home opens in two directions. Just off the back of the kitchen, a screened-in porch with its wood-burning fireplace and a covered outdoor cooking area creates a natural extension of the gathering space throughout the seasons. Inside, the kitchen opens directly into the great room, the architectural heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings give the great room an immediate sense of scale, while year-round mountain views remain a constant presence. At its center, a dramatic two-sided stone fireplace creates a striking connection between the great room and the primary suite beyond. On the opposite side of the fireplace, the primary suite sits beneath its vaulted ceiling, with a custom window bench made for reading and taking in the view. The bath has been reworked with new countertops, updated cabinetry, heated floors and a heated towel bar. That same attention carries throughout the rest of the home, from fresh paint in every room to new lighting throughout, along with the improvements you won't see in a photograph but will appreciate in every season: a whole-home generator that keeps everything warm and running in all weather. The home also includes a spacious attached two-car garage with ample storage. Above it, a fully finished bonus room provides flexible space not included in the heated square footage. The message is clear: this was never merely a cosmetic refresh. Separate from the home, a detached, heated workshop gives projects, tools and hobbies a dedicated place of their own year-round. Outside, the yard is now fully fenced, with a dog run in the back and landscaping that finally frames what was always there. Decks sweep the entire length of the home, opening to year-round views. The terraced lawn steps down through stone retaining walls to a parklike green space and firepit patio below. A mountain stream runs next door, allowing the sound of falling water to follow you around the property. Short- and long-range mountain views embrace the home in an ever-changing landscape. Peace and quiet on demand. Downtown Waynesville is only minutes away when you want fine dining, breweries, shopping, theater and more. But honestly? You may not want to leave, and no one would blame you. Masterfully updated. Mountain-tested. Completely elevated. New photography is coming in the next couple of weeks to capture it all, if it lasts that long.
