Experience Lake James Living under $700,000 in this Beautifully Updated Mountain Retreat

Welcome to a serene property overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake James. Nestled on a wooded ridge with seasonal mountain and lake views, this well-maintained home blends modern comfort with the beauty of its natural surroundings.

Inside, the living area features a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and generous natural light from large windows that highlight the surrounding landscape. The kitchen includes granite countertops, wood cabinetry, and updated black appliances, including a gas range.

Multiple access points lead to expansive multi-level decks that wrap around the back of the home, providing ample space for outdoor relaxation. The tiered layout enhances functionality and includes a terraced area with stonework and a fenced-in pool (currently covered), creating excellent potential for a customizable outdoor space.
