Perched in the mountains of Sylva between Dillsboro and Franklin, this beautifully updated home captures sweeping long-range mountain views and the peaceful charm of Western North Carolina living. Renovated in 2017, the home combines rustic mountain character with modern comfort and style. The updated kitchen features Norcraft Parker Maple cabinetry in antique white with soft-close doors and drawers, granite countertops, hand-cut porcelain subway tile backsplash, under-cabinet LED lighting, and two Velux solar tube skylights for abundant natural light. Bathrooms were upgraded with granite vanities, custom tile work, and a tiled walk-in shower with bench seating downstairs. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout for easy mountain living. The seller enclosed the deck to create a stunning living room designed to fully enjoy the expansive mountain views year-round. Outdoor features include a 20x20 rear deck with cedar pergola, illuminated stairs, and covered parking below. Meticulously maintained, the property also features native landscaping started in 2023 and abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, and black bears.
