You don't have to pay the high price of living in an exclusive community to experience mountain top living at its best! This very large, private and inviting home is one-of-a-kind & a Must See! In addition to the 4,200 sqft of living area the home boasts over 1,600 sqft of deck space offering the home owner plenty of room to WOW family & friends with a true mountain top experience! As you enter the front door your line of sight is immediately drawn beyond the foyer & great room to a majestic & panoramic view of mountains in both South & North Carolina along with the valleys below. The very open Southern Living floor plan shouts entertaining. To the right of the columned foyer is a large dining area; to the left is a comfortable library/music/sitting room featuring a wall of custom built book cases. Straight ahead is a generous sized great room with cathedral beamed ceiling & a 15' stacked stone gas fireplace surrounded by built-in display shelves. 3 sets of French doors can be opened up to expand the great room into a very spacious sun room giving you the feeling of bringing the outside in. The kitchen (separated from the great room by a granite topped bar) boasts of Jenn-Aire appliances, granite counter tops with stone back-splash, center cook-top island and a large breakfast area. The king-sized master bedroom has its own private deck, large en-suite master bath (Jacuzzi tub, tiled shower, separate vanities & water closet) and a huge walk-in closet. You don't even have to get out of bed to enjoy a spectacular view through the triple sliding glass doors! Two additional bedrooms, separated by a Jack-and-Jill bath, are on the other side of the main level from the master bedroom. The laundry room and an additional half bath are also on the main level. The lower level could stand as a mountain retreat home by itself. With the rustic elegance of Ponderosa pine walls and slate-look tile floor this level offers a dramatic but inviting change from the more formal main living above. Here you will find 2 very large bedrooms, each with a full bath, separated by a spacious entertainment room featuring a second stone surrounded gas fireplace, pool table area, fully equipped kitchen & 800 sqft of covered deck. In addition to plenty of storage space, there is room to expand the lower level to include perhaps a media room, wine cellar and/or bunk rooms. Make this beautiful home yours and the only two events that will break your train of thought will be the sunsets (seen from most any room in the home) and the sunrise as you sit on the spacious rocking chair front porch or gazebo swing. Of course seeing deer graze and plenty of turkey in the back yard may get your attention as well.
