Mayview Blowing Rock

THIS REMARKABLE MAYVIEW HOME WITH FIVE- BEDROOMS, FIVE-BATHS AND THREE-CAR GARAGE WAS FEATURED ON THE TOUR OF HOMES 20 YEARS AGO JUST AFTER IT WAS EXPANDED FROM A SIMPLE TWO-BEDROOM COTTAGE. This charming home is perched on a ridge directly across from Broyhill Park and Cannon Garden. Around the corner is the Bistro Roca site. On three levels with large coved porch adjoining the great room and with lower and upper patios, this home is fully furnished with exceptions. This spacious and gracious home offers a world of entertaining possibilities. Enter the main level from the covered porch and step into the great room with its vaulted ceiling and tall stone propane fireplace at one end and covered porch on the other end. The great room has a large sitting area with several smaller areas nearby. Adjoining is a large covered porch with table, chairs and plenty of seating. The porch is a favorite gathering place. The great room flows into a small, intimate dining area that pours into a huge chef’s kitchen with giant granite counter with barstools that encloses a down draft gas stove. It is adjacent to a floor to ceiling window wall. In front of the window is a large table and chairs for dining with family and friends on festive occasions. Leading from the kitchen is a back hall with door opening to a fenced upper patio. Great for pets. Off the hall is a large laundry room with washer and dryer.

Stairs lead to second floor guest quarters with two bedrooms, one with a sitting/office area. A large bath with tub/shower serves both bedrooms. There are several storage closets on this level above the three-car garage. This creates a private retreat for guests.
