A classic Blowing Rock cottage less than a mile from Main Street, offering single-level living, a one-car garage, and mid-century charm — homes like this don't come available often. Located within the Blowing Rock town limits off Sunset Drive just up from Highway 321, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits an easy trip from Main Street's shops, restaurants, and Memorial Park. Start your mornings on the covered flagstone rocking chair porch overlooking the professionally landscaped front yard and stacked stone walls. Step inside to an inviting living room where the original floorplan retains the character of the home — warm wood paneling, a gas log fireplace, and large windows that fill the space with natural light.

The attached one-car garage houses the washer and dryer and provides additional storage. Out back, a secluded patio offers a quiet spot to unwind and take in the mountain air.

The paved driveway, part of which is being used in the photos as outdoor space, can accommodate multiple cars and there is a parking spot to the right of the garage.

The land rises smoothly away from the road at a soft, manageable grade, making access and site development straightforward. Being on the upslope places the build site above street level, providing improved natural light, enhanced privacy from passing traffic, and superior views of the surrounding landscape. The gentle rise naturally sheds surface runoff away from the home toward the front property line and street drainage systems, preventing water from pooling around the foundation. Having access to town water and sewer eliminates the need, cost, and space required for a well or septic leach field, significantly simplifying the permitting process.
