Nestled among the trees on approximately 0.91 acres in the desirable Walker-In-The-Hills community, this thoughtfully updated mountain retreat offers year-round mountain views, a private setting with a rushing creek, and a large mostly level yard. Conveniently located just 1.5 miles from Hwy. 74 and only minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway's Balsam Gap entrance, this property combines easy access with a peaceful, secluded setting on a dead-end road. Featuring two bedroom suites, 2.5 baths, and an inviting open-concept design, the home blends mountain charm with modern comfort. The spacious living room showcases a cozy fireplace, custom doors, and wood laminate flooring, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features a center island, breakfast bar, pantry, and generous workspace, while the dining area opens directly to the rear deck for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered tiled front porch or relax on the rear deck while taking in the mountain views and natural surroundings. The soothing sound of the creek creates a serene atmosphere day and night. Multiple mini-split systems provide efficient year-round comfort, and the home was extensively updated in 2018, including wiring and plumbing improvements for added peace of mind. Additional highlights include an attached one-car garage, storage shed, approximately 125 feet of asphalt driveway, parking for up to 12 vehicles, and ample space for an RV, motorhome, boat, or other recreational equipment. Move-in ready and full of character, this special Waynesville property offers privacy, convenience, modern updates, mountain views, and the relaxed lifestyle that makes Western North Carolina so desirable.
