Mountain Sanctuary in Western North Carolina! Tucked away within the secure gates of one of Western North Carolina's most prestigious private communities, this custom-built Craftsman home offers a rare blend of architectural artistry and absolute seclusion. Designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, this home is a triumph of organic luxury, positioned perfectly to capture the sweeping mountain vistas. Offering en-suite bedrooms on each of the 3 levels including a large primary suite on the main floor, there's tons of privacy for visiting family & friends. The great room is centered around the rugged stone fireplace while the vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows invites you to enjoy mountain views from every corner. The spacious kitchen has gorgeous maple cabinets, Vermont Soapstone countertops and stainless KitchenAid appliances including a gas cooktop with pot-filler and exhaust hood. The ample mud room, which offers a stainless pet bath and washer/dryer hookup, leads to a detached 2-car garage which is fully insulated & has pull-down attic storage. The loft, overlooking the great room, has a convenient nook, perfect for a home office or library, and a guest bedroom w/ walk-in closet and dedicated bathroom. The basement is beautifully finished with a second large family room and additional guest bedroom and full bath. There are 2 utility rooms - one with washer/dryer hookups and one currently being used as a craft room/office. The basement opens to an oversized concrete patio w/ stone accents - the perfect setting for a hot tub or fire pit. The partially fenced-in yard is lovingly landscaped with a wide variety of flowers, shrubs, and spices. A key feature of this property is its seclusion from the community roads and surrounding neighbors. There are very few homes in the Grandview Peaks community that offer this amount of privacy, surrounded completely by nature. Within walking distance, you'll find the man-made community lake and pavilion - ideal for soaking up the sun, picnicking with friends, or fishing for rainbow trout and smallmouth bass. Grandview Peaks is a very active and friendly neighborhood - with weekly gatherings and dozens of social groups, it won't take long to make friends here who quickly become like family. Marion & Morganton, just a short drive away, offer all the charm that the small towns of NC are famous for. Shopping, entertainment, healthcare and endless outdoor adventure are just minutes away. Come see this exceptional property in person and discover how serene and rewarding mountain living can be!
