Construction of this historic house started prior to the civil war. The house is built upon a rock foundation with mortise and tenon logs and features interesting historic features such as hand planed interior boards, three chimneys with two wood burning fireplaces, two covered porches, and original hardwood floors. Outbuildings include a spring house previously used for refrigeration and a barn built over the nearby stream.
Renovation started on this farmhouse in the early 2000s. Though full of historic character, enjoy modern comforts including fully functional kitchen and stainless steel appliances, claw footed soaking tub and shower in the large bathroom, efficient heating and air conditioning, gas logs, and double filtered mountain spring water.
There are 4 mini-split heating/cooling units in the house located in: Kitchen, Den, Master Bedroom, and Upper Queen Bedroom. Please leave the mini-split settings for the vent direction and fan speed on the automatic setting as it will heat/cool the room more efficiently and without excessive noise or temperature variations. To use the remote, just select heating or cooling, and direct the remote in the direction of the indoor unit and select your preferred temperature setting. It is best to leave the remote to each mini-split in the middle or far side of each room.
There are gas logs in the living room and an included remote. To use the remote, stand close to the gas logs and direct the remote to them to turn on and off, or select the desired automatic temperature.
The upper bedroom with the standard bed and twin bed has ancillary heating and cooling with an eden pure heater and window a/c unit. The bathroom’s heat is also provided with an eden pure heater. Adjust to your preference.
There are two wood burning stoves in the open fireplaces of the kitchen and den. If you build a fire, please be responsible and don’t leave a fire unattended. There is firewood on the porch for your convenience if you plan to start a fire in one of the wood stoves. The damper is open to the wood stove when the bottom rod is pulled out toward you, you may close the damper after the fire gets hot to last longer and control heat. There is also a galvanized bucket on the porch for ash removal if needed.
Cellular service is best with Verizon in the mountains of NC, however you may still have service with other carriers when you are connected to the fiber wi-fi that is provided.
