About This Home

This impeccably maintained custom home in gated Whitewater Ridge community presides over beautiful gardens and offers a stunning long range Whiteside Mountain view. The 11 acre estate is surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest, offering three hiking trails and access to waterfalls and the wild and scenic Whitewater River. Its setting among the native rhododendron and mountain laurel offers both privacy and quiet found in its natural surroundings. Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful design and exquisite attention to detail. The main living areas are oriented to maximize the spectacular views, and the covered porch and decks feature unobtrusive post and cable railings. The great room is a highlight, with its soaring wood cathedral ceiling, wood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling stone and Italian tile wood-burning fireplace. The chef's kitchen is equipped with Thermador appliances, dual workstations, and ample ceiling-height cabinetry. A large pantry with an additional refrigerator/freezer, beverage cooler, adjustable shelving, and a recycle center is conveniently located nearby. The spacious primary suite located on the main level features a cathedral ceiling, a linear gas fireplace, custom maple and cherry cabinetry with a "waterfall" design, a zero-entry shower, and a heated bathroom floor. On the opposite side of the home’s main floor, a private guest suite awaits, complete with wood floors, abundant natural light, a large closet, and an en-suite bath. The main level also includes a generous laundry room, a powder room, a home office and a small keeping room with a gas fireplace adjoining the kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with double vanities and a tub. A large family room is situated above the two-car garage. The lower level, built into the sloping terrain, offers an art room, extra storage space, a third garage for an ATV and easy access to the home's mechanical systems. This exceptional estate also features desirable amenities such as a 22Kw generator, a whole-house water filtration system, a dual fuel heating system, and energy-efficient spray foam insulation in the walls and ceilings, ensuring comfort and peace of mind.
