491 Rustling Woods Trl, Cullowhee, NC 28723
What's special
Every detail of this custom Arts & Crafts home was intentionally selected to create a home that feels warm, timeless, and deeply inviting. Inside, you'll find finishes that simply aren't ordinary, from hand-selected chandeliers & rich hardwood floors to leathered stone countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, designer tile, and custom touches throughout. Every finish was thoughtfully curated, giving the home a sense of craftsmanship. Just beyond the main living space, the covered back deck becomes the true heart of the home. Anchored by a stunning outdoor wood-burning fireplace, it's easy to picture mornings with coffee wrapped in a blanket, family dinners that linger long after the plates are cleared, football Saturdays, and evenings spent listening to the sounds of the mountains. This isn't just outdoor living, it's where life happens. The thoughtfully designed floor plan is equally impressive, offering main level living with a spacious primary suite, two additional guest suites, an office, laundry, & open gathering spaces, while the upstairs retreat provides a private fourth bedroom, full bath, sitting area, and flex space. Located just minutes from Western Carolina University!
