Located in the desirable Walnut Creek community, this 4BR/3BA home offers long-range mountain views, a welcoming neighborhood setting, and a surprisingly easy drive with mostly paved roads and gentle grades. Designed for both everyday living and flexibility, it includes a private lower-level suite and a proven rental history—ideal for full-time use, a mountain getaway, or income potential. Set on 1.8 acres, the property captures expansive southeastern views across open farmland and layered mountain ridges, with a distant glimpse toward the Blue Ridge Parkway. Natural light fills the main level, designed for comfortable living with the primary suite, laundry, and open living spaces all in place. Vaulted ceilings and a dramatic window wall frame the views, complemented by hardwood floors, a stone wood-burning fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen with quartz countertops and a custom island. The primary suite opens directly to the deck and hot tub and features a spa-like bath with radiant heated floors, whirlpool tub, and separate shower. A loft above provides flexible space for guests or a quiet retreat. The fully finished lower level (2024) offers a private apartment-style layout with its own entrance, kitchenette, bedroom, bath, and laundry—ideal for guests, extended living, or rental use. With a strong, proven short-term rental history and a layout that allows for separate or combined living, the home offers exceptional flexibility. Outdoor spaces are positioned to take in the peaceful setting and wide-open views, while a detached garage and ample parking add everyday convenience. Walnut Creek is known for its natural beauty and well-kept surroundings, offering a “country feel” with everyday conveniences just 15 minutes away in Waynesville, approximately 30 minutes to Asheville and 25 minutes to Sylva, and easy access to nearby Blue Ridge Parkway entrances. The area is rich in outdoor recreation and local charm, with opportunities for hiking, fly fishing, skiing, and exploring unique dining, shops, and galleries. A small working farm just around the corner adds to the sense of place. With limited exceptions, most furnishings are available for purchase in a separate transaction.
