A magical storybook stone cottage with a downtown social life and secret gardens all its own. Just a few blocks from Morganton’s restaurants, breweries, movies, festivals and downtown events, this charmer keeps the fun close while offering a private world to come home to. Arched openings, original hardwoods, substantial moldings and a classic fireplace give the home unmistakable 1940s character. The beautifully renovated kitchen is bright, elegant and made for those who love to cook, featuring gorgeous soft close cabinetry, a gas range, inviting eat-in space and an easy flow into the dining room. The main level lives easily, with generous gathering spaces, spacious living room with cozy fireplace and a four seasons sunroom opening to a Trex deck. A side patio and gardens feel worlds away from town. Follow the garden path a little farther to a second freestanding deck hidden among mature plantings, private, green and wonderfully unexpected. The exterior-access basement offers a studio, workshop and flexible space for art, hobbies or storage. Walk downtown when the mood strikes, bring the party home and retreat to your own little world when the evening winds down.
