210 Henkel Street

Delightful Blowing Rock neighborhood location with a short, ~1/4 mile, stroll to Main Street restaurants, coffeee shops, boutique shopping, concerts, and attractions. Recently built, the farmhouse style home emanates a palpable ambiance of comfort, quality, and restful ease. The front porch is an ideal perch from which to enjoy the cool, rarefied mountain air that sets the High Country apart from other locales. The versatile, spacious interior layout is well suited to accomodate both a family and friends. An open floorplan with 9-ft ceilings; three king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom; ample natural light, a quiet neighborhood vibe. Sleep six adults comfortably without anyone sharing a bath. Upstairs there's a bonus lounge area between the bedrooms — great for kids or a secondary living space when you have a full house. (And a "secret play/game room" in the attic!). The 1st floor primary bedroom has a custom walk-in closet of considerable proportion — room enough for even the most curated of wardrobes. The kitchen,the social heart of any distinguished home, features a gas fireplace, commanding farmhouse sink and 6 seat table, white granite countertops and island with leather bar seating — an arrangement that invites spirited conversation as one's aspiring (or actual!) chef works at the professional gas downdraft cooktop and double ovens. Laundry and pantry are well-appointed and along with guest bathroom, occupy the space behind the kitchen. Then, just out the back door, find a cozy out-cottage furnished with a computer desk, sofa bed and TV for work, play, or the occasional overflow guest. Whole-house foam insulation helps keep utility expense low. Whole-house water filtration. Ample in- and under-house storage. Side yard area for pets, outdoor cooking, and conversations around the firepit. Offered substantially furnished, this represents an unusual opportunity, whether as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. The pleasantly calm setting of this home, its condition and versatility, and proximity to Main Street Blowing Rock is a rare find.
