About this House

This beautiful home has such visual and historic appeal. For over a century it has overlooked and been a part of the day to day life of Main Street Sylva. The newly renovated Old Courthouse/Library is but a few short steps from your door. Walk from the Library down the steps to everything Main Street Sylva has to offer. The ground floor master suite and bathroom have both been updated. The rooms upstairs are all large with additional storage and closet space. The Cherry wood paneled study/library with the gas log fireplace would be my room of choice in cooler weather as compared to the large screened porch with views all the way to the Blue Ridge Parkway in summer. The original Oak and Heartpine floors are beautiful. Much could be said about the appeal and comforts of this home but the view down Main Street Sylva and up into the the entire Balsam Range make it a home and location that can not be matched anywhere else in the county.
38 Ridgeway St, Sylva, NC 28779 is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2,806 sqft single-family home built in 1914. It last sold for $480,000 on Aug 25, 2022. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $569,800, with a rent estimate of $3,164/month.
