Property Description

Located within the prestigious Elk River Club, 229 Cardinal Court offers refined mountain living with a newly opened view of Beech Mountain, exceptional club amenities, and numerous upgrades throughout the home. Locally milled hardwood floors and new carpet run through the main living areas, where the Beech Mountain view can be enjoyed from the living room, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with custom cabinets, quartz countertops, a 16-function double oven, 5-burner downdraft gas stove, oversized pantry, and wet bar, offering both function and style. Just off the kitchen you’ll find a spacious laundry room and convenient access to the attached one-car garage with additional room for a golf cart. Designed for elevated mountain living, the expansive outdoor living space features low-maintenance Trex decking and a beautifully appointed screened porch with a built-in gas grill and gas fireplace creating an inviting setting for year round entertaining and relaxation. The primary suite offers a private retreat with an adjoining office space, a two-sided walk-in closet, cedar storage closet, and an updated bathroom featuring a step-in tiled shower and Jacuzzi tub. Upstairs includes two additional bedrooms and an updated bathroom providing plenty of room for family and guests. The lower level provides endless flexibility with generous space for a game room, additional sleeping area, or home gym. Several major improvements have already been completed including a new roof (2022) (synthetic cedar shake with a 50 year transferable warranty to the new owner) gutters and windows (2023), two tankless hot water heaters, retaining wall, encapsulated crawl space, and updated furnace/heat pump. Ownership in Elk River Club offers access to one of the High Country’s most sought-after private communities featuring a Jack Nicklaus signature Golf Course, state of the art equestrian center, private airport, along with clubhouse dining, tennis, fitness center, swimming pool, and scenic walking trails along the Elk River all within a secure gated setting just minutes from Banner Elk.
