Our grandmother's house has recently come back in to the family! This precious house is conveniently located in downtown Blowing Rock on Main Street. Just walk downtown on the town trail and in a jiffy you will be in the middle of historic Blowing Rock. Shopping, restaurants, parks and much more are just steps away.
This vintage charmer has had a total face lift with new exterior paint, new washer-dryer-dishwasher, new rugs, all new upholstered pieces with plenty of Grandma's antiques scattered through the house, new dishes, new pots and pans, new linens. The amazingly large great room has a huge fireplace with a picture window overlooking Grandfather Mountain. The deck on the back of the house is a peaceful place with new porch furniture and more Grandfather Mountain views.
Two cozy bedrooms downstairs with another porch. Convenient to the ski mountains and local golf courses. Cone Park, Tweetsie Railroad and Westglow Spa just minutes away.

Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Blowing Rock
We live in Greensboro and were so lucky to have the opportunity to purchase our grandmother's house. We actually bought the house from the person who bought it from her in the early 1980s. She purchased it in 1959. It is only two hours from Greensboro and a very easy drive. The house is so comfortable and cozy. There are so many wonderful restaurants and trails for hiking. The town is constantly having wonderful events that make it so much fun to visit. Shopping is great too.It is very close to the ski resorts- about 20 minutes away.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This is our home rather than just a rental unit, so it has a lot of nice features like good linen, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable furniture, beautifully decorated. The outside of the house is very deceiving- it is much nicer inside the exterior leads you to believe! That will be our next focus. The trail to town is right across the street- in less than five minutes you can be at Monkees. It is fun to see the hustle and bustle of downtown, then come back and relax at the house. Our guests really love how unique the house is- very vintage!
