About this House

Welcome to this 3 bedroom 2 bath mountain retreat where long-range views, classic chalet character, and flexible living spaces come together in the heart of Western North Carolina. Perfectly positioned between the charming mountain towns of Franklin and Sylva, this home places you right in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, surrounded by the natural beauty, outdoor adventures, and small-town charm that make this area so special. The main level is designed to take full advantage of the mountain setting, with a soaring living area featuring dramatic vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and expansive glass doors that fill the space with natural light while framing the surrounding views. Step outside and let the mountains become part of your everyday backdrop. The bright and inviting kitchen offers granite countertops, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of workspace for everything from quiet mornings at home to gathering with family and friends. Also on the main level is a versatile bonus room with an adjoining bedroom, creating the perfect setup for a home office, guest space, hobby room, or additional sleeping area. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the main living area and provides even more flexible space to make your own. The lower level offers a private retreat with a spacious room, ensuite bath, and access to a large deck—an ideal spot to slow down, take in the views, and enjoy the peaceful mountain surroundings. Outdoor living is a true highlight, with an open sun deck, covered porches, and multiple spaces to enjoy everything from crisp mountain mornings to quiet evenings surrounded by the beauty of the Smokies. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a mountain getaway with room for everyone, this inviting chalet offers the space, character, views, and location to experience mountain living at its best.

    "Most events held in Franklin NC are old-fashioned and geared towards the elderly age group. Up to date technology is not widely used and internet is rarely available here. There is very little to do in Franklin for the 18 - 45 year old age range, unless you like to hike. Easy trip to make a Asheville though for fun. "
