If you’ve been looking for a southern-style front porch where you can watch the neighbors and the local wildlife walk by, you’ve found it. You can feel the hospitality the moment you drive up. In a neighborhood of modest mansions, on a one-way street, this charming home sits on a gently sloping lot that’s over an acre of forested land. There’s level parking into a 3 car garage plus level entry into the home, after a short stay on that oh so inviting covered front porch. You enter to an airy living room with soaring vaulted ceiling, a centerpoint fireplace with a raised hearth that goes floor to ceiling. Gorgeous newer hardwood floors grace the whole main level, from living room through formal dining room to kitchen and dining nook. The kitchen has a large island with a 6 burner Jenn-Air gas cooktop with downdraft. There are two Jenn-Air electric ovens for those big holiday meals and a huge Jenn-Air fridge. All of the windows in the home have classic plantation shutters. The laundry is conveniently located on the main floor as well as a charming powder bath. Upstairs is a true primary retreat with a small loft area perfect for a small home office or those morning yoga stretches. The main bedroom has newer carpet, a romantic fireplace and a spacious en suite bath with walk-in shower and separate tub. On the lowest level you’ll find a cozy den or TV room perfect for cuddling up an a sofa with your popcorn and watching a moviel. 3 more spacious bedrooms and another full bath take up the rest of the lowest level. There are spacious decks on all 3 levels, facing your own piece of forest, and there’s always mountain wildlife to entertain you…bears and lions and deer, oh my, with some raccoons and coyotes too, who all come to visit the seasonal creek that runs through the lot. Another bonus space, a partially finished 800 sq ft space with 2 double doors to do with whatever your imagination can dream up. There’s room for 2 more bedrooms and another bath, with plumbing available, or a big workshop and gym. Outside on this level is a covered carport, accessed by a long driveway, also available for parking. There’s a Generac whole house generator for power outages. A Presidential roof was installed just last Fall. This house really has it all, ready for graceful mountain living and entertaining, quality through out. Lake rights, of course.
