The Upper Level offers two bedrooms with bathrooms en suite. Each of the bedrooms has a unique loft, perfect for a children's play or sleeping area ... or maybe just extra storage space.
The Master Suite consists of two rooms divided by a two sided fireplace. A large 20' X 17' bedroom, along with a 14' X 15' adjacent sanctuary area, which can be used for a dressing area, office or reading room. The suite is essentially two complete areas divided by a great see-through masonry & stone fireplace. The perimeter walls are log and the interior walls are of select cherry & walnut. His & hers walk-in closets are also crafted from antique cherry and walnut, as are portions of the master bath. The walk-in master spa & shower is natural stone & Travertine with a luxurious 3-way shower system and stained glass windows.
The Stair Tower is an engineering marvel. It is constructed of an 8" reinforced concrete center with 6" of stone both on the interior and exterior ... a 20" thick structure providing access to all 3 levels of the home. The iron handrails and spindles, formed in the design of mountain laurel, were hand forged and crafted by renowned blacksmith artist, Lynda Metcalfe. The roof support beams of the tower come from massive timber beams that were reclaimed from a 'days-gone-by' Tobacco Factory in Rockingham, NC, that was over 150 years old when taken down. The heartwood pine that the beams were originally cut from, exhibit growth rings that easily add another 100+ years to their history. In addition to the tower's copper roof support system, the entire staircase was cut and constructed from these historic wooden beams.
The Dining Area debuts open, long range & inspiring views of Mother Nature with three full walls of architectural windows providing a 270 degree view of the Tusquittee Mountains.
Designer Gourmet Kitchen reminiscent of old world handcrafted artistry, created for beauty and functionality with a massive stone hearth infusing the home with warmth, and perfect for family gatherings. This kitchen is a chef’s dream, with chiseled edge granite, professional grade stainless steel appliances, hickory flooring and designer lighting. The custom hood over the open 48" Viking range is one of the home's highlights and is custom iron art at its finest, engineered for functionality with controlled make-up air from behind the range-top supplied and synchronized with exhaust air pulled by the hood insuring that inside pressurization levels remain equal.
