Welcoming streamside mountain retreat in the desirable gated Hound Ears community. Perched alongside a year-round tributary of the Watauga River, enjoy the water sounds and outdoor views from the decks of this four-bedroom, three and a half-bathroom mountain home. The main level is made for entertaining family and friends with a cozy den and kitchen that adjoin an open living room and dining room. Relax on the upper porch and enjoy grilling outside in the mountain air and sounds of the stream. The second level has two bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and the primary suite with a spacious bathroom and walk-in closet, with its own porch along the stream. The bottom level features Grandfather Mountain slate flooring, full bath, and bedroom. Level driveway and parking provides easy access. Impressive rock features outside along the stream provide a secluded feel while still being convenient to all the activities that the Hound Ears community and the High Country has to offer.
