First, THE VIEWS. . .sweeping vistas of John's River Gorge AND Grandfather Mountain that must be experienced in person to appreciate--an unfolding daily panorama to enjoy from your covered and open deck and from most every room in the home! THE HOME is your vessel to experience the pinnacle of mountain living--Built with utmost care and planning by the first owner(whose architectural icon was Frank Lloyd Wright) and renewed and meticulously maintained by the current owners since 2001. As you enter the foyer and step into the large living area, your first impression is of views everywhere you look. The room is anchored by a beautiful massive stone fireplace (wood burning) on one end and a custom Amish built bar on the other, with plenty of room for a festive gathering or a quiet night in front of the fire. A small private den is just off the great room--a cozy place to watch TV or read a book. The kitchen/dining area offers another window wall for those south facing gorge views as well as a chef's kitchen with a huge island, Kitchen Aid appliances, gas cooktop, solid surface countertops (Corian and Silestone) and a great pantry area and plenty of other cabinetry. A half bath is off the kitchen as is access to the 2 car garage. There is also a large utility room next to the kitchen with plenty of storage.
