Perched at the very pinnacle of Seven Devils on over 1.2 acres, Top of the World doesn't just overlook the High Country — it commands it. A full 180 degrees of uninterrupted mountain panorama unfolds from east to west, delivering both sunrise and sunset in awe inspiring fashion, every single day.
The stone facade greets you like a castle on the ridge, and the moment you step inside, the wow factor deepens. A soaring foyer with a stunning glass stairway and walkway above ensure that every view remains as unobstructed as possible. Numerous windows, including 14 that are brand new Pellas, frame those views like living art, while the mountains follow you through every room. Five bedrooms, including three king bedrooms, 2 with oversized ensuites, as well as a queen room and bunk room, all have multilayered mountain view so that every guest wakes up to something extraordinary. The gorgeous fully updated kitchen flows into a sun drenched dining room, where a table for twelve sets the stage for unforgettable mountain dinners. The living room is anchored around a floor-to-ceiling stone gas log fireplace that owns the room, while a custom bar with new black leathered granite invites you to pour something worth savoring and enjoy an evening by the fire. Step out onto the expansive back deck, beautifully furnished for dining, conversation, and lingering, and let the Blue Ridge Mountains remind you why you never want to leave.
Downstairs, the expansive and well equipped game room opens to a lower patio and hot tub perfectly positioned for relaxing while stargazing over the ridge or watching the snow fall around you. A firepit made for fall evenings under the stars, abundant parking, and a rare bonus of a double lot with so much untapped potential round out this rental property that performs as beautifully as it photographs. New metal roof. New windows. New luxury vinyl plank flooring, plus a whole list of additional improvements make it so you don't have to do a thing to start enjoying your new mountain home. A property this meticulously maintained, and this spectacularly positioned, doesn't come available often. This is Top of the World, and it absolutely lives up to its name! Ask for the extensive list of improvements to this home since the current owners purchased.
