Tucked in the sought-after Hully Gully area of 1780 , this 3000-square-foot Arts and Crafts-inspired home blends craftsman character with easy mountain-lake living, right down to a deeded boat slip and direct access to the community trail leading to Camp Lake James. The open main level is anchored by a living room with a stone fireplace and custom built-ins, plus a cute reading nook tucked under the stairs-a perfect place for a nap or kids to sleep. Hardwood floors run throughout. The kitchen's large quartzite island flows into an open dining area leading to an uncovered deck and a screened porch with its own wood-burning fireplace — ideal for three-season entertaining. The primary suite, also on the main level, offers an ensuite bath with a large tiled shower plus a private study or sitting room for quiet mornings or work-from-home flexibility. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each enjoy private half baths with a shared tub/shower, alongside a flexible bonus space ready to serve as a TV room, game room, or bunk room for extra sleeping quarters — perfect for visiting family and friends. Practical spaces are just as thoughtfully designed, with a large mud room, laundry area, walk-in pantry, coat closet, and a dedicated storage/office area keeping everyday life organized. A one-car garage and outdoor shower are easily accessible from the mudroom. Outdoor living is exceptional here with a grilling deck, uncovered deck and an a lower patio with a hot tub inviting relaxation under the stars. For true tranquility, take a short walk into the woods to a private deck made for yoga, meditation, or quiet reading.For more social activities, access the adjacent community trail and head to Camp Lake James with canteen for snacks and drinks, exercise room, outdoor pool and hot tub, tennis & pickle ball courts and trails. Your deeded slip is also near the Camp. Although this is a one owner home that has never been rented, short term rental are allowed. Enjoy biking and hiking on nearby trails at Lake James State Park, Pisgah NF and Fonta Flora State Trail.
