Spacious and utterly enchanting, this impressive Mill Creek Post and Beam beauty represents the quintessential mountain-lake home. Expansive living areas (over 6000 square feet) are wonderfully laid out over white oak and slate floors beneath vaulted and beamed ceilings. Three of the enormous bedrooms host cozy lofts accessible by crafted metal ladders, and each has its own full bathroom, for utmost privacy. The master suite is endowed with a private screened porch with stone gas fireplace, and inviting stacked stone jetted bathtub, for an in-home spa experience. A majestic spiraling staircase leads to a private loft overlooking the bedroom, and beckoning the reader. The fourth bedroom provides yet another hospitable space, nestled above the garage, and equipped with its own full bath and potential exercise space with wall length mirrors. The living areas include a beautifully articulated kitchen with SubZero and Viking appliances, a large farmhouse style sink, and lovely custom crafted cabinetry along with an entire wall of windows bringing in natural light and the peace of the surrounding woodland. The truly "great" room, featuring an impressive stone and beam hearth and towering cathedral beamed ceilings, imbues the interior with further natural light from a second wall of windows overlooking the signature Jack Nicklaus golf course. The lower level comprises a spacious layout, wet bar, fabulous custom copper, wood and stone wine cellar, slate and hardwood flooring, and double French doors to enjoy the southern mountain air. Enjoy relaxing by a fire or soaking in the outdoor spa on the slate patio at this beautiful estate, nestled on 1.09 acres. This home looks as though it "belongs" amid the towering pines with its nurturing wood and stone exterior, wooden shingles, spacious three car garage, welcoming circular driveway, and beautifully groomed landscaping.
