Within sight of the Blue Ridge Parkway and nestled in the peaceful Alpine Crest subdivision, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Situated on a gently sloping 0.8-acre lot along a paved, state-maintained road, this home offers beautiful countryside views of Buffalo Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway from its spacious covered deck. Step inside the main level and you'll immediately appreciate the warm, inviting atmosphere created by the cathedral, beamed ceilings and beautiful new tongue-and-groove white pine finishes throughout the home, including the ceilings. New ceiling fans and unique light fixtures add to the cottage's mountain charm. The heart of the home is the spacious great room, highlighted by a gorgeous stone fireplace with gas logs and a beautiful wooden mantel. A new mini-split provides comfortable temperatures year-round, while a standalone propane heater adds cozy warmth on chilly winter evenings. The eat-in kitchen is conveniently located just off the great room and offers ample cabinetry and easy access to the living area. Two main-level bedrooms feature new sliding glass doors opening directly onto the expansive covered deck, making it easy to step outside each morning and enjoy the breathtaking mountain and countryside views. The deck also has stairs leading conveniently to the backyard. The upper-level bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with new tongue-and-groove paneling and all-new fixtures, plus a huge storage closet. The finished basement provides even more living space with an enormous family room, third bedroom, and connecting full bathroom, which has also been updated. Abundant storage throughout the home makes it practical for full-time living, weekend getaways, or rental use. Outside, you'll find a 10' x 14' storage building, along with a concrete patio beneath the decks for more storage.
