Property details
About 9 Ruff Rd
Gracefully tucked on a lush .88 AC lot, this inviting home provides mountain living with space to stretch out to nature all around. The expansive, level backyard borders a gentle creek and is dappled with the shade of mature tulip poplars, wildflower blooms, and is visited by songbirds along with native white squirrels. As you step inside to a bright, airy, open floor plan, the cozy living area flows into a well-appointed kitchen and dining space. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the home invites you to savor fresh mountain air from the covered front porch or the peaceful back deck—two ideal spots to listen to rustling leaves, water running over rocks, and the hush of twilight settling over the trees. Thoughtful upgrades throughout—including custom Bali blinds, Anderson storm doors, a Tuff Shed, stand-alone freezer, bathroom fixtures and much more. Here you find a sense of place that feels both curated and wild - a quiet little haven that feels worlds away, yet entirely at home.
