A rare opportunity in Headwaters of Banner Elk—one of just four townhomes tucked into an approximately 3.5-acre setting, offering the ease of level entry, generous living space, and the privacy and beauty buyers come to the High Country to find. Beautifully updated and move-in ready, this three-bedroom mountain retreat combines comfort with effortless mountain living. High ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, inviting feel, while custom closets and generous storage make the home as functional as it is welcoming. Recent improvements include new interior paint, new carpet, a new roof, and a whole-home generator, along with additional storage in the storage shed/garage. Step outside and you'll understand what makes this home special. An expanded lower-level deck creates even more room to relax and entertain while enjoying the peaceful mountain surroundings. After a day on the slopes, hiking the trails, or exploring Banner Elk and Beech Mountain, come home to your private hot tub and settle in for a quiet mountain evening. Additional finished space with a sleeping area and full bath provides wonderful flexibility for family and guests. This approximately 313-square-foot area was completed by a licensed contractor but was not permitted and is therefore not included in the home's advertised heated living area. And then there is Headwaters itself. This established gated mountain community offers two lakes encompassing more than 20 acres of water, a lakeside pavilion, hiking trails, a waterfall, tennis and pickleball courts, an outdoor basketball court, and a spectacular clubhouse showcasing layered mountain views. Inside the clubhouse, owners enjoy a game room, dining room, fitness room, and theater. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, second home, or mountain escape, this is the kind of property that makes enjoying the mountains easy—level entry, spacious bedrooms, exceptional storage, extensive updates, inviting outdoor living, and outstanding community amenities, all within easy reach of Banner Elk, Beech Mountain, skiing, dining, shopping, and year-round recreation. Arrive, unpack, and start living the mountain life you've been waiting for.
