286 Hedgewood Drive, Tuckasegee NC

Remarks:

This rare single-level home in Bear Lake Reserve combines thoughtful renovations with timeless mountain character, all framed by sweeping views of Cedar Cliff Mountain. Ideally located in the heart of the community, it offers quick access to the entrance gate and every amenity Bear Lake Reserve is known for. At more than 3,000 feet in elevation, you’ll enjoy cooler summers, fewer insects, and the peace of true mountain living. Since purchasing, the current owners have transformed the property inside and out. A new roof was added in 2021, complemented by cedar shake siding and exterior accents that enhance the home’s rustic appeal. Fresh interior and exterior paint brighten every space, while comfort and efficiency come from a brand-new HVAC system (2023), wired home generator and a tankless water heater (2024). Outdoors, the landscaping is truly exceptional. Large granite boulders and mature native plantings create a natural, enduring backdrop that feels both dramatic and serene. The gardens and hardscapes echo the tranquil feeling of the interior design, offering a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A completely new parking area, integrated beautifully into the landscape, provides ample space for multiple vehicles without disrupting the natural setting. Inside, the upgrades continue with a fully renovated kitchen featuring custom cabinetry and clever storage systems. The guest bath has been completely updated, while an upgraded package of Pella windows and doors floods the home with light and perfectly frames the mountain views. A custom fireplace surround and accent wall bring warmth and sophistication to the living room, where tongue-and-groove ceilings highlight the home’s mountain-modern aesthetic. The spacious primary suite on the main level offers a private retreat with wood floors, while a gas log fireplace indoors and on the covered deck invite year-round comfort. The expansive deck is the perfect perch for taking in the surrounding beauty of Cedar Cliff Mountain. A generous crawlspace beneath the home offers potential for expansion, whether you envision additional living space or simply more storage. Immaculately maintained, thoughtfully upgraded, and surrounded by inspired landscaping, this home is a rare find and an ideal retreat for anyone seeking the perfect balance of mountain and lake living in Western North Carolina.
