About this House

Perched at an elevation of 4,750 feet, this spectacular home has one of the best long-range views in the state of NC! You will see layers of mountains all the way to Tennessee thru the floor to ceiling windows in the living room that will provide viewing pleasure during all four seasons. The open-floor plan combines the living room, dining room and kitchen! The living room is accented with a stone gas log fireplace. The kitchen Island is large with a gas range. The rest of the kitchen provides plenty of counter space with high quality appliances and plenty of custom cabinets. The tongue and groove ceilings, coupled with the inspiring architecture will impress the most demanding buyers. Both bedrooms have access to their own private-screen porch which leads to the deck overlooking the mountains. The master bedroom is spacious and the bathroom and tiled shower are stunning. Bedroom 2 has its own bathroom as well. The butler pantry is a must see to believe. The laundry room is spacious and conveniently located. Less than 15 minutes to Lake Glenville access and 30 minutes to Cashiers, NC! The house was recently finished so sky is the limit for decor and landscaping of your choice,

"There are several choices of schools here. There are active after school choices such as those at local churches and the Boys and Girls Club. There’s a good library and a nice recreation center. Community events are family friendly. It gets very cold here in winter which can result in delayed school openings."

"Lots of student drivers and cars. They are sometimes reckless and can be dangerous to pets if they are not leashes or watched properly. However, Cullowhee is a beautiful region offering lots of hiking trails , beautiful scenery, and has plenty of room to run for our furry friends! There are also parks and outdoor restaurants that dogs are allowed to visit, but overall Cullowhee is a wonderful place to have dogs. Plus it is full of mountain scenery to see not only wonderful views of the mountain beauty, but of those beautiful pets as well! Cullowhee is most definitely a dog friendly place!"

"I have lived in the house as a renter. It is a wonderful space. The best place I have ever lived. There is a fire pit next to the creek in front of the property and the neighbors are very nice. The location is very quiet and private. there are only three other houses on the street and this one is at the very end of Timber Wolf Trail with no possibility of a house ever going up on the other side."
