There's something special about a mountain home where you can enjoy the beauty of nature without giving up the comforts of home. And this chalet in the gated community of High Knob has plenty to love! Imagine pulling into your paved driveway in the spring with cherry trees bursting into bloom. The property borders the Smithsonian conservation area and has something that's not always easy to find on the mountain: a beautiful, usable yard! There's even a greenhouse for those who love to garden. Inside, the soaring ceilings and dramatic wall of windows give you that chalet feel everyone loves. Beautiful hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and updated light fixtures make the space feel warm and welcoming. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a new induction stove, and a new built-in microwave. The primary bathroom has been updated with a brand-new tile shower. And here's something buyers will appreciate. A new roof, new tankless water heater, and freshly stained exterior mean some of those big-ticket improvements have already been taken care of! One of my favorite features is the expansive deck that wraps around the back of the chalet. The cable-style railings allow you to enjoy the views of the yard and surrounding trees, while the adjoining covered porch gives you a sheltered spot to sit back and relax. There's also a large 20 x 20 shed for storage or hobbies. Downstairs, the finished family room is wired for surround sound, making it a great space for movie nights or entertaining. Located about halfway up the mountain, you're close to High Knob's clubhouse and pool. And if hiking is your thing, the community's private access to the Appalachian Trail is right up the same road! Residents also enjoy tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, a playground, and more. Mountain charm, modern updates, and a setting that's hard to beat. You won't want to miss this one!
