117 amberleaf way

Nestled above the Tuckaseegee River in a private setting within the prestigious Cullowhee River Club subdivision, this exceptional 2019 custom Arts and Crafts residence offers three bedrooms and four full baths plus separate guest accommodations, just minutes from Western Carolina University and downtown Sylva, North Carolina. Every detail reflects the finest craftsmanship, from the exposed beams that grace both interior and exterior to the architectural shingles and shakes that crown the home. Hardy plank siding, lush professionally landscaped grounds with private outdoor living areas, long-range mountain views, Trex decking, and a cozy covered front porch create an inviting first impression, while public water and sewer plus natural gas provide modern convenience. The open-concept main level is designed for effortless entertaining and everyday living. Passive light pours through the home, illuminating quartz countertops, a full suite of Bosch appliances, a generous kitchen island with breakfast bar, and a well-appointed pantry. The great room soars with a 23-foot cathedral ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling stone gas-log fireplace that becomes the natural gathering point that flows into the four seasons room surrounded in full glass. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring its own laundry, a large walk-in shower with double vanity, and direct deck access. Upstairs, an open loft serves beautifully as a home office, complemented by a guest bath with soaker tub and a spacious bedroom with walk-in closet. The finished basement continues the same standard of quality with 10-foot ceilings, a wet bar, live-edge shelving throughout, a guest bath with dual vanity and walk-in shower, and an additional bedroom. Completing the property is an attached two-car garage with guest quarters above—an open-plan suite with granite kitchenette and full bath, ideal for visitors or extended stays. Three-level zoned heating and a double tankless water heater ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. This rare combination of custom architecture, thoughtful indoor-outdoor flow, and a quiet yet convenient location makes the home equally suited as a primary residence or a refined mountain retreat.
