Imagine stepping outside and actually walking to downtown Sylva. Coffee, dinner, breweries, shops and events are all just down the hill. The park is to your right, the Jackson County Public Library to your left, and you’re perched just above town with mountain views in the background. Built in 2023, this contemporary modern home offers more than 3,000 heated square feet across three levels, with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The main level was made for gathering. An open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining and living spaces, with clean modern finishes, oversized windows and abundant natural light. Step outside onto the spacious deck overlooking downtown Sylva — the kind of spot made for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and watching the town come alive below you. Upstairs, the primary suite features generous closet space, along with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level adds something increasingly valuable: flexibility. With its own bedroom, full bath and living area, it can easily serve as private guest quarters, a studio-style suite, home office, or simply more room to spread out. And did we mention it comes furnished? With just a few personal exclusions, you can move right in and start enjoying it. Because the real luxury here might just be this: You can live in the mountains without having to drive 20 minutes down one to get anywhere. Park the car. Walk downtown. Grab coffee or dinner. Come home, head out to the deck, and take in the mountain and town views. This is downtown Sylva living.
