A classic Western North Carolina farmhouse surrounded by eight private acres, this special Bakersville property feels both timeless and remarkably modern. Thoughtfully renovated while retaining its original character, the 2,000+ square-foot home offers three bedrooms and two baths, including a main-level primary bedroom.
