About 163 Forbes Way

Nestled at the end of a private cul-de-sac in Blowing Rock’s highly desired Wonderland Woods, this meticulously updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom mountain retreat offers 2,512 square feet of sophisticated luxury. Boasting easy year-round access and a clean, modern aesthetic, the home is bathed in incredible natural light that highlights tall tongue-and-groove ceilings, freshly refinished original hardwood floors, and a striking stacked-stone unvented gas fireplace. The main-level living experience is elevated by a gourmet kitchen featuring premium granite countertops, a new custom backsplash, all-new top-of-the-line Café™ appliances, and a sleek Samsung induction electric range, flowing seamlessly into a newly enclosed multi-season sunroom detailed with new windows and updated flooring. Each spacious bedroom functions as a private suite with its own dedicated bathroom, including a primary bedroom that features newly installed hardwood floors and a breathtaking, fully gutted and remodeled en-suite bath and shower. On the second level, fresh plush carpeting leads to a spacious and versatile loft, offering an ideal flexible area for a painting studio, hobby room, or whatever your lifestyle desires. Impeccable attention to detail is evident throughout, with fresh interior and exterior paint, chic new lighting and hardware, and a completely upgraded laundry room featuring a new washer/dryer and a custom mudroom wall. Beyond the oversized two-car garage, the exterior has been entirely transformed with brand-new landscaping, elegant flagstone walkways and sitting areas, new window boxes and shutters, and practical upgrades like a comprehensive security system and a new crawlspace dehumidifier. Offered with a curated selection of tasteful furnishings, this exceptionally connected property provides unparalleled privacy just two minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, eight minutes from the dining and boutiques of downtown Blowing Rock, and ten minutes from Bass Lake, presenting a rare opportunity for effortless mountain elegance.
