With rare close-up views of Whiteside Mountain, this sophisticated log home is located in Highland’s highly desirable “Bowery Road” neighborhood. This home was completely reimagined by the architectural firm Pritchett & Dixon with a major 18-month renovation fusing the timeless charm of log and timber with a stunning rustic-modern interior featuring 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
The oversized entry doors open into a soaring beamed ceiling living space with heart pine floors, wood burning fireplace and a timber-framed loft area that defines the dining area with French doors that open to a porch. The gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances and a bar area with a built-in Sub-Zero beverage center. An adjacent scullery expands the kitchen with a second oven & built-in espresso/coffee machine. The main level also includes the first of two primary bedroom/bathroom suites. The second primary suite is on the upper level that features 2 walk-in closets and ensuite bathroom. The adjacent loft with its own full bathroom can be used as a home office, lounge and/or overflow sleeping area. The lower level boasts a new TV /game room, full bathroom, and 2 additional bedrooms. Outside is a ground level porch with additional parking & a level 2 car charger. The 1.35-acre property is unusually flat for its almost 4,000 ft elevation which offers ample space for outdoor entertaining as well as the potential addition of a Garage/Guest house for which plans by Pritchett & Dixon are available .
Whether you are seeking a private retreat or a full-time residence, this property exemplifies the essence of “Quiet Luxury”. This chic mountain home with its tranquil setting is just minutes from Highlands' fine dining, boutique shopping and outdoor recreational activities.
