Nestled on almost 2 acres, this eclectic property offers a harmonious blend of modern comfort. It's a place of enchanting tranquility located just 20 minutes to Cashiers, Highlands, & Franklin. It is also close to Lake Glenville's public beach & boat ramps. Approach the home where you're greeted by a circular driveway lined with rock garden walls, beautiful flower beds, & long-range mountain views looking west to Snowbird Mtn. Enter the front door & you're welcomed by the modern convenience of a spacious mud room to shed your hiking boots & gear. The grand living room has vaulted ceilings, stone wood-burning fireplace, & wide windowed wall with new windows installed last summer. The open kitchen has a Wolf gas range, granite countertops, an island for counter seating, & a bright space for entertaining. Walk out onto the new deck (2022) to enjoy the sound of a stream bordering the property, mountain views, & brilliant sunsets year-round. From the living room, follow just a few steps to the laundry room, a library/den with built-in bookshelves, a guest bedroom, & a full bathroom with gorgeous, tiled shower & windows that make you feel like you're showering in a rainforest! Then, just a few stairs lead up to the owner's suite with its own private Juliette balcony & long-range mountain views. The spacious owner's bath has dual vanities, a large shower, & Jacuzzi tub. Every room in the house has wood-planked ceilings except the kitchen, which is tin. The fenced yard has stunning gardens that bloom year-round & a private path to the stream. Adjacent to the main home is a detached, 3-car garage wrapped in stacked stone with an apartment above. This living space includes a full kitchen, living area with gas fireplace, bedroom & full bathroom. Plus, the large garage below the apartment is a great workshop or place to store vehicles or boats. The property has been lovingly owned & maintained for over 30 years by the same owner - that speaks volumes to how special it is!
