About This Property
Welcome to **368 Starling Road**, a beautifully updated **3-bedroom, 2-bath cabin offering 2,074 square feet on 1.1 acres** in Lake Lure. Combining classic mountain character with an impressive list of improvements, this home delivers the warmth and charm of a cabin retreat without leaving the next owner with a long list of projects. Inside, warm tongue-and-groove details create an inviting mountain atmosphere, complemented by updated flooring and stairs, renovated bathrooms, new countertops and sinks, stylish backsplash, updated appliances, lighting and ceiling fans. Mini-split HVAC systems provide efficient year-round comfort, while extensive re-plumbing and a new water heater installed in March 2026 add to the home's many thoughtful updates. The improvements extend well beyond the interior. Updates include the deck, fascia and soffit, gutters, windows, exterior stain and seal, drainage and gravel work, septic risers, vapor barrier, insulation, and foundation improvements by PolyRenewal. The roof was replaced in 2019, and the exterior and roof were professionally pressure cleaned in August 2026. The private water system has also received significant attention, including a sediment filter, UV light, pressure tank, and well casing cleaning completed in July 2026. The septic system was pumped in March 2026, and dehumidifiers and updated insulation further enhance the home's comfort and maintenance. Set on **1.1 acres**, the property offers the space and mountain setting buyers come to Lake Lure to find. With **three bedrooms, two full baths and more than 2,000 square feet**, there's plenty of room for everyday living, weekend escapes, and gathering with family and friends. With so many substantial improvements already completed, **368 Starling Road** is ready for its next chapter. Come enjoy the character of a Lake Lure cabin, the breathing room of over an acre, and the peace of mind that comes with a home where the important work has already been done.
