Nestled in the rolling foothills of Purlear, NC, The Gablewood is a striking modern-craftsman retreat that harmonizes crisp, contemporary architecture with classic High Country character. Defined by its multi-gabled silhouette and clean, high-contrast exterior palette, this 2,174 sq. ft. heated residence presents a refined, enduring presence designed to capture the peaceful natural beauty of Wilkes County.

Craftsman Masonry & Timber Accents: The home’s welcoming front porch is grounded by natural stone-clad bases supporting heavy-set timber pillars. These authentic stonework and wood textures bring timeless mountain craftsmanship to the entry, creating a warm, inviting focal point.

High-Contrast Architectural Silhouette: Crisp white vertical siding creates a bold, clean contrast against dark architectural shingles and prominent black-framed windows. The multi-tiered gable roofline adds depth, proportion, and standout curb appeal against the Carolina sky.

Thoughtful Proportions & Main-Level Living: Offering 2,174 sq. ft. of total heated living space—featuring an efficient 1,867 sq. ft. main floor layout complemented by a versatile 307 sq. ft. finished bonus space—the design prioritizes main-level convenience, open-concept flow, and low-maintenance luxury.
