Property Description
For nearly 140 years, this remarkable mountain residence has stood as a gracious testament to a bygone era, its rich history woven into every thoughtfully preserved detail. In the picturesque Cruso community of Haywood County, this extraordinary 1888 home blends timeless elegance, historic character and modern refinement. Once serving as a teaching college annex of Columbia University, a boys' school and a summer camp, this distinctive property has long been a place of learning, gathering and cherished memories. A gracious front porch welcomes you with captivating mountain and golf course views, while inviting side and rear patios and a fenced backyard offer beautiful settings for relaxation and entertaining. Inside, thoughtful renovations honor the home's architectural heritage while embracing contemporary comforts. A beautifully remodeled kitchen, featuring exposed brick and a charming fireplace, is complemented by a butler's pantry, elegant dining room, and light-filled, year-round sunroom. The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful retreat. A beautiful wooden staircase leads to four additional bedrooms, two baths, and a spacious, sunlit upper hall, an idyllic setting for reading or quiet reflection. Separate living quarters above the main-level garage, handicap accessible, feature a bedroom, bath, kitchen, dining area, and living room, offering wonderful flexibility for family and guests. A substantial barn provides three garage bays below and an expansive upper level, unheated but equipped for a future heating connection, offering exceptional possibilities for creative pursuits. Rich in history, beautifully restored and thoughtfully reimagined, this one-of-a-kind property offers something increasingly rare, the opportunity to become part of a remarkable legacy while creating a story entirely your own.
