Tucked into a tranquil wooded setting, this lovingly maintained mountain retreat feels welcoming from the moment you arrive. A stream winds through the terraced landscape, while generous living spaces and inviting decks set the scene for quiet mornings, lively gatherings, and memories made over the years. Three bedrooms, including a primary suite on each main living level, four full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, and versatile bonus spaces offer room to settle in. A two-car garage and ample parking welcome guests. On the main level, vaulted ceilings and abundant windows fill the living and dining rooms with light. A floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace invites cozy evenings, while a built-in dining room buffet with a granite countertop makes hosting easy. The spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a casual dining area that opens to a covered deck — an inviting spot for morning coffee amid the sounds of nature. The main-level primary suite includes dual vanities and a walk-in closet. An additional bedroom, a full bathroom, a laundry room, a walk-in pantry, and a half bathroom near the garage-side entry add convenience. Hardwood, carpet, and tile flooring, abundant storage, and bathrooms with marble and stone finishes and large walk-in showers complement the home. An upstairs loft offers space for fitness, crafts, or play. Covered, open, and wraparound decks invite long conversations and peaceful afternoons overlooking the grounds, with seasonal partial golf-course views framed by the forest. A side grilling area includes a propane line. The lower level offers a second primary suite with an oversized bathroom, dual vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Two bonus rooms share a full bathroom, with an additional half bathroom nearby. A kitchenette with a sink, space for an ice maker and wine cooler, and an eat-up bar serves a living area with a stone gas fireplace. Recreation space and a covered, screened deck offer more places to unwind. Near Sapphire Resort amenities and Lake Fairfield, with access to Cashiers, Highlands, and Brevard, enjoy mountain-town dining, shopping, hiking, waterfalls, fishing, and lake adventures. Asheville Regional Airport provides a convenient connection. Whether a full-time residence, mountain getaway, potential investment, or a home to enjoy across generations, this warm retreat is ready for its next chapter.
