Experience mountain living in this charming Cullowhee chalet, perfectly blending rustic character with recent modern updates. Situated to capture potential mountain views, the home welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings finished in tongue-and-groove wood, a dramatic stone fireplace and hearth, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors that flow through the main living areas. Thoughtfully updated throughout — new luxury vinyl plank and carpet, plus fresh interior and exterior paint — the home feels move-in ready. The practical newer metal roof provides long-term peace of mind. An open wrap-around deck off the living area invites morning coffee and evening sunsets in a peaceful, wooded setting. The main level features two comfortable bedrooms and easy-access living space, while upstairs you'll find a spacious loft plus a private master suite with an ensuite bathroom — ideal as a quiet retreat, home office, or guest space. The lower level is a finished half-basement with a full bathroom and generous storage areas, offering flexible space for a media or game room, workshop, or in-law suite. Convenient to WCU, dining, shopping and breweries, call today to book your showing!
