From the moment you arrive, it's clear this custom-built home was lovingly crafted & meticulously maintained. The pie-shaped lot borders a mature, hardwood forest, is fairly level with old stone walls, mature landscaping & a magical forest feel. It captures the charm of the Smokies. Located close to town in Rocky Face Mountain, the home's exterior blends wood, stucco & locally harvested stone. Inside, you'll find old barnwood floors, laurel branch railings & custom woodwork. Tall windows fill the two-story living room with light with a woodstove to add warmth. The kitchen features newer stainless appliances, is plumbed for a propane stove & opens to a mudroom with extra storage. The dining area leads to a sunny, deck with bistro lighting among the trees. The main-level primary suite includes walk-in closets, an oversized laundry room & a renovated ensuite with walk-in shower, bidet, sauna & a unique, double vanity. Upstairs, a guest BR & bath are off the huge loft overlooking the living area. The full, walk-out basement includes a finished bath, workshop space, shelving & potential for a 2nd living area. Whole-house generator & on-demand water heater. Balsam West internet used.
