Description

Picture yourself in this grand Blue Ridge Mountain home, sunlight streaming in from the wall of windows in the great room and the true dormer windows throughout. This home was built for durability, longevity, and style. The foundation is pre-cast concrete by Superior Walls®. 2 x 6 framing with an R-21 wall and R-39 roof of 30-year architectural shingles. The exterior facade is Hardie® Board fiber cement. **Gather with family and friends in the open floor plan, featuring vaulted ceilings constructed of true solid beams over an airy, spacious great room and kitchen. Engineered hickory floors are pre-finished and nailed down and have a lifetime warranty. The stone fireplace features gas logs and a mantel constructed of 200+ year old cypress, sourced from a historic New Orleans warehouse. **An ample granite peninsula and bar delineates the kitchen from the great room and dining area. This generous space seamlessly merges cooking tasks with conversation and connection. Quarter sewn oak cabinetry and granite counters extend into the butler pantry. Stainless appliances, including a GE Cafe Series dual-fuel 6 burner range and double oven, Bosch dishwasher, and under-counter ice-maker. ***Off the great room is a magnificent deck, built of performance focused materials, overlooking the pastoral valley below. Supporting the deck and roof system, from the ground to the roof, are single, solid 10x10” vertical beams. Massive scissor truss beams support the two-story vaulted ceiling. The deck floor is composite; the rails are wire cable, and the top rails are single continuous beams, on each side. ***Your primary bedroom suite is a personal haven and retreat. Relax on your private screened porch. Cool blue walls and marble surfaces create a spa bathroom experience with a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. ***An extra-large mud+laundry room features a custom built alder bench and drawers with Manzanita burl root pegs, creating a rustic, but artistic, organized drop zone. A utility sink and durable tile floor are practical and easy to clean.
