Welcome to true main-level living in the heart of Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure.

Morning coffee, dinner with a view, or an afternoon nap in the swing — this is where life at the house actually happens, rain or shine, spring through fall. Inside, the open-concept main level keeps that same easy, single-story flow: vaulted ceilings with wood beams, warm bamboo flooring, and a striking stone gas fireplace anchor the living area, which opens directly onto the porch so indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar made for casual mornings or entertaining. The primary suite is also on this level, with generous closet space and a luxurious ensuite bath featuring an oversized vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower — no stairs required for day-to-day living. A versatile main-level office or craft room rounds out the floor, along with a spacious laundry room with extensive cabinetry and a utility sink. Downstairs, a cozy den is perfect for movie nights, joined by two guest bedrooms and a full bath offering privacy for visitors. A large unfinished area adds excellent storage or workshop potential, and its own lower-level deck opens to peaceful wooded views. A two-car garage completes the package. Beyond the porch and the views, Rumbling Bald residents enjoy resort-style amenities: two championship golf courses, a full-service spa, private lakefront beach, restaurants, a coffee shop, indoor and outdoor pools, sport courts, pickleball, a fitness center, and walking trails — all inside a gated community.
