Located in the quaint mountain cove of Montreat, Patricia Home is nestled up on Rainbow Ridge and is the perfect place to gather. This home, built in 1909, beautifully blends modern amenities with historical pieces. Once home to a family where the women were all named Patricia, the walls of this property are a veritable history museum. Enjoy your time both inside the home and out, on the three layers of decks with the sounds of nearby Flat Creek. The driveway is extremely steep, but is manageable and has plenty of space at the top. There are a total of five parking spaces available. Open concept the first level has plenty of space for entertaining, with a table that seats approximately 16 people. The updated galley-style kitchen has modern appliances and beautiful granite countertops, with a bar space connecting to the dining room for quick service. Spacious den has seating on split levels - with the television on the upper level near the hall half bath. Spend time together on the expansive front porch in the red rocking chairs, as burgers heat up on the grill. All bedrooms are on the upper two levels of the home - with two rooms on the second floor, one leading to the deck; and four on the third floor, with access to the small top-story deck from the hall. Take your time as you venture up the stairs to piece together the story of the home and its previous occupants with the memorabilia placed on the walls.

​​​​​​​You're within walking distance to the award-winning Robert Lake Park - with a lovely creekside playground, tennis courts, a small ballfield, and an easy walking trail Elizabeth's Path.
