Experience the elegance of Southern heritage beautifully blended with modern luxury in this pre-Civil War estate. Almost 4 ac with almost 500' of frontage along Big Helton Creek, a stocked trout stream, this 4/2 home offers a rare opportunity to own a renovated legacy property in NC's High Country. From the moment you arrive, the estate makes a lasting impression—stately white columns, mature sugar maples, vibrant gardens, & the constant, calming presence of the Helton Creek just beyond the lawn. Original craftsmanship takes center stage with 9-foot ceilings, woodwork, Rumford-style fireplaces, oak & poplar floors, & antique glasswork throughout. This home offers radiant floor/baseboard water heating with water stove or LP gas & mini-split HVAC for year-round efficiency, a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances, & gas range, updated bathrooms with antique vanities and stylish finishes, & many other updates.
