Mountain living in the small, gated community of Rocky Knob, where nature beckons you to just the right balance of nature and seclusion. Covered deck with outside hand-stacked stone fireplace. Custom stair railing with locust railing. Front doors custom made of red oak. Hickory flooring enhances custom design features, main level includes living room with stone fireplace, cedar posts. Custom built kitchen cabinets and island with black granite and limestone countertops and seating area. Laundry room/pantry, half-bath, primary bedroom with bath. The stair railing is rhododendron with copper railings. Upstairs has two bedrooms, full bath, and den. Upstairs vanity and mirror made with reclaimed barn wood. Workshop area in the basement. Fenced area and underground dog fence. Whole house 20-kilowatt Generac generator. Underground utilities include high-speed fiber-optic internet. The measure report shows 113 heated square feet less than the Watauga County Tax Office record. Perhaps the discrepancy could be explained by how the space occupied by the staircase was calculated and how some rooms with sloped ceilings were measured.
