The main house is constructed as a classic log home, however it combines modern quality design with the very best in maintenance free materials and timesaving features. Also featured on the property is a combination two-car garage with the most beautiful garage doors you may have ever seen, and above the garage is a large room with a private full bath. Call it a bonus room, the fourth bedroom, or make it your guest quarters, it is really up to you. One could write a small book about the attributes of this superb property and the extensive efforts put forth by the owner. Seven years went into the search for just the perfect property and it is now available at your fingertips. This is strictly for the discerning buyer who cherishes nature, quality and privacy. This is a unique offering, an extremely rare opportunity - all at an affordable price.
As you proceed down the drive you cannot help but feel the "park-like" natural setting of this beautiful property. The home was designed with skill and great patience to present a clean rustic look, while also building as maintenance free a home as one can. The siding is a combination of White Pine log stained with Sascho and two coats of clear coast. The soffit, fascia and shakes on the front are Hardie cement for durability and longevity. And the use of Cultured Stone specifically dresses up the home. This is topped with the finest in metal roof design and state of the art gutter guards. As you park on the large apron and look at the garage doors, you may be thinking, "I have never seen garage doors with such beauty". You next walk toward the front door and admire the two stone columns, porch and beautiful all wooden arched door - you are already excited.
As you enter the foyer and naturally look left, your pulse quickens as you enter the Great Room and try to catch it all in a first look. The Hickory hardwood floors, the vaulted pine ceiling, the awesome wooden beams, the stone and gas log fireplace and a beautiful mantel with space for the TV. The decorative stone and rock entry, the wrought iron railing on the rock loft overhang and concave computer workstation are just too much for a quick look. You can easily feel the warmth and hominess throughout this home.
Next the open floor plan rolls over into the state of the art kitchen, providing awesome custom hickory kitchen cabinets, granite counter tops, tile backsplash, under cabinet lighting, and all-new appliances including a dual cook top oven and confection microwave. The dining area is spacious, yet cozy.
Walking through the kitchen you pass through a pocket door into a large master bedroom with continued hardwood flooring, and a beautiful bead board pine ceiling. The master bedroom has recessed lighting, a ceiling fan with remote and custom shutters over the windows. The master bath follows with tile flooring, a Roman spa bathtub, and dual tile shower that also works as a steam room. Beautiful decorative tile work throughout followed by a master walk-in closet with custom cabinets, pocket door and a window.
Turning right as you enter the foyer you would have seen a spacious laundry room, with a metal deep sink, custom cabinets, a laundry table and space for your washer and dryer. There is also a door from the laundry room that opens to the breezeway and the double garage and bonus room. But first lets go up the beautiful wide, wooden stairway to the two large bedrooms and two separate baths upstairs.
Upstairs, the two large bedrooms are very pleasant while providing spacious closet space, new low-cut shag wall-to-wall carpeting and pocket doors. Both bedrooms have personal private full baths and both have access to the small loft over looking the entertainment below. Back downstairs we'll go out the laundry room door to the timber breezeway and stamped concrete walkway connecting the double garage to the main house.
When you step into the garage you are immediately taken by the depth and good size of the space. And in addition to the beautiful garage doors, you notice that they are also taller providing ample room for trucks, large SUVs and boats. Upstairs you'll find a large carpeted room, heated and cooled and a fourth full bath. Call it a bonus room, a fourth bedroom or your guest quarters. It is up to you.
Doors from the kitchen and great room lead to a beautiful 262 square foot screened porch, featuring an awesome, cultured stone wood-burning fireplace, with an authentic log mantel, three skylights and ceiling fans. There is composite decking on both the screened porch and the outside 193 square foot deck. This decking will last for ages and the outside deck is structurally reinforced to hold a hot tub. All railings and banisters are wrapped in vinyl, which makes for clean beauty, easy maintenance and a long life.
There are numerous special features throughout this property that haven't been mentioned. To name a few, they follow: beautiful moldings, and chair-rails, soft neutral paint, beautiful wood ceilings, and high quality fixtures throughout. The heating and air system in the main house is a Rheem unit installed by Starnes Heating and Air from Granite Falls. The hot water is instantly supplied by a tank-less Rinnai unit and in the bonus room over the garage there is a traditional electric unit. The windows are Peachtree aluminum clad low e double hung, and to maintain the rustic look they are trimmed out with natural pine and a clear stain. The home is equipped with a CPI security system that is monitored 24/7 by CPI as well.
Installed underneath the house there is a mold-free crawlspace system with a 25-year warranty. This system is complete with moisture eliminator dehumidifiers, crawlspace advanced remote monitoring system, and a sump pump. It monitors water and humidity and works as a dehumidifier and condensate pump. Crawlspace measures approximately 1333 square feet with an average height of 4 feet.
Lastly, lets talk again about the unique plot. With the exception of the major work undertaken to build this solid driveway, the owner has left the landscaping as Mother Nature presents it. Silver Creek meanders around the property, and over a unique and pleasant sounding waterfall. There is something about the sound of water running and especially over a falls that is peaceful and soothing to the ear. Without walking very far from the house there are at least three areas one could easily develop a picnic area, outside campfire pit and even permanent tables if desired. And of course there are all kinds of areas to observe wildlife and various fauna.
Conveying with the property is your own "personal" boat slip at the Anchors Landing Clubhouse. You can drive your golf cart to your boat slip and enjoy Lake Hickory at your leisure.
