The spacious, open floor plan coupled with the expansive floor-to-ceiling window walls and 9 skylights allow for magnificent, unobstructed views of the creek. It’s as if you are in a tree house looking down. It’s truly a haven, for not only can you behold the beauty of the creek with its rushing water, boulders and waterfalls; in addition, you are soothed by the sounds and smells of falling water and crisp mountain air. With all the glass, the interior is filled with natural sunlight by day and there is extensive downlighting systems & cove lighting accents by night. The home is approximately 2854 square ft. with 3 oversized bedrooms & 3 baths, including a master entry-level bedroom. Being custom, quality abounds with western red cedar siding, pine vaulted ceilings, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, oak hardwood flooring, tile bath floors, reclaimed wood wainscoting in downstairs bath, flagstone exterior accents and walkway. The entry level consists of a pine vaulted great-room with a cathedral-window wall and exposed beams, stone wood-burning fireplace (currently equipped with gas logs), built-in bookcases, dining area, kitchen with customized pantry and an island, master bedroom and full bath. The top story is a sun-filled, open loft with two skylights and includes a built-in ‘L’ desk area, oversized bedroom space, full bath, and walk-in closet. The loft would be ideal for an artist studio or writer. The lower level has a extended length great-room/recreation room (approximately 17’9” x 41’9”, which could easily be sub divided for 4th bedroom or bunk room) with wet bar and stone, wood burning fireplace (currently equipped with gas logs). In addition it has an oversized bedroom measuring approximately 13’ x 21’ with two walk-in closets, full-bath, plus laundry room and storage. The lower level would make for a great mother-in-law suite (or Airbnb), as it not only has the oversized bedroom and full bath, but it also has 3 sets of French doors that have access to the deck. The deck has 4 levels and totals 1,250 square feet with plenty of room to entertain. Geographically, the home is uniquely surrounded by the towns of Boone (26 minutes), Banner Elk (29 minutes), Beech Mountain (22 minutes), and Valle Crucis (23 minutes).
