About This Home

As of November 2021

This stunning traditional mountain home designed by renowned architect Al Platt recently underwent a massive face lift in 2017. From the moment you enter the two story light filled foyer, and throughout the home, the luxurious appointments prevail. The large living room with coffered ceiling is central to two additional large gathering spaces which are oriented on a northwest/southeast axis; both with fireplaces, the northwest sunporch with all new windows is geared toward the terraced garden, slate walkways and doggie yard. The southeast partially cantilevered porch is focused on an enormous view into forest service property and has electric screens, built in outdoor (Wolfe) grill, steps down to the fire pit, hot tub and more gardens by Mary Palmer Dargan. This home is designed perfectly for al fresco living. Inside, brand new kitchen (with all upgraded appliances), laundry and baths. The master has heated floors in the bath, large shower with two steam units.and sizeable his and hers closets. Guest suites are very private, have access to covered deck and share a bonus room for late night television or early coffee. Attached two car garage and plenty of storage throughout the house. New 80kw Koehler generator, separate workshop foundation in place is a great location additional guest quarters with POA approval. This is a Destination Home- once you arrive you do not want to leave......
