$3,627Designed for effortless living, this home offers low-maintenance luxury—perfect as a refined primary residence or an elegant second retreat. The main level offers true one-level living with over 1,300 square feet of well-planned space. Enjoy a spacious primary suite, cozy open-concept living and dining areas, and an attached two-car heated garage. The living spaces extend effortlessly onto a wraparound covered porch—a welcoming spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings surrounded by nature. Downstairs, you’ll find a peaceful, private lower level that feels completely separate from upstairs—perfect for hosting guests or creating a comfortable multi-use space. This level includes three bedrooms, each with walkout access through recently replaced sliding glass doors. One large bedroom features its own ensuite bath, offering a second primary suite option. The patio area is ready for a hot tub and overlooks the wooded backyard with gentle slopes and winter views. Built with care and efficiency in mind, this home features extra-thick exterior walls for added insulation, durable hardboard siding, and a dual electric and propane HVAC system for year-round comfort and lower utility costs. The low-maintenance yard requires mowing only a few times per season, leaving more time to enjoy mountain living. Inside, you’ll appreciate granite countertops, wood floors and walls throughout, and beautifully finished ceilings on both levels—no drop ceilings here! Every space feels light, warm, and connected. This home sits in Gingercake Acres, a community gently carved into the woods where rhododendron and mountain laurel line the roads and nature sets the pace. Every drive through the neighborhood feels like a scenic route—quiet, green, and full of the charm that makes the Blue Ridge Mountains so special. This home offers direct access to the dramatic hiking, vistas, and forest of Linville Gorge Wilderness, just minutes away. Explore the iconic waterfall trails at Linville Falls, breathe the crisp mountain air at 4,000 ft elevation, and return home to the comfort of a well-maintained neighborhood with amenities including a swimming pool, pickleball courts, a community center, and woodland walking paths. For those considering investment opportunities, this property has a strong rental history and is located in an HOA that allows short-term rentals. A bonus storage “bunker” on the lower level provides a clean, dry area for outdoor gear, seasonal décor, or turnover supplies. (Please note: STR guests do not have access to community amenities.) Beautifully finished, energy-efficient, and designed for easy mountain living—this home embodies the relaxed mountain lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a peaceful vacation getaway, or an investment property, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, connection, and natural beauty. Schedule your showing today and experience what makes this home and community so special.
