IN BEAUTIFUL SWEETGRASS (BLOWING ROCK'S GATED MOUNTAIN LAKE COMMUNITY), THIS EXCEPTIONAL CONTEMPORARY MOUNTAIN CRAFTSMAN-STYLE HOME DEFIES DESCRIPTION! (Literally, there were not appropriate MLS words to adequately describe it!) This home was designed and built for comfortable living for people with serious special interests. Within the house is a huge, light-filled studio space, that has been used by an accomplished weaver, with a cork floor and an adjacent greenhouse room. As a separate building, there is a second 516-SF studio space, that was used by an accomplished potter. Their equipment didn't stay, but lots of their good, creative energy does! The main house structure features an open living area that includes the living room with a Canadian Novo Supreme 38" Woodstove, the gourmet kitchen (with a Bosch gas cook-top, double ovens, custom-designed cabinetry with specialty cabinets, and open dining room. Tucked away is a walk-in pantry with clever shelving and storage and an extra Galanz refrigerator and a near-by powder room. Other main level living areas include a Library/Den with a "secret-passage" door and a Family/Music/TV room that easily accommodates overflow guests with a sleeper sofa and adjacent full bath. The Primary Bedroom and Bath are on the main level with two walk-in closets. Of course the tile bath floors are heated. And, of course, you can lie in bed and open the blinds (or not) with your remote control to greet the morning (or not). A sumptuous covered deck/outdoor living area is just off the living room, with a handsome cultured stone gas-fired fireplace. Upstairs are two gracious guest bedrooms and a large bath, with access to a climate-controlled attic storage space. The oversized two-car garage was especially constructed to allow easy access from street level. And the lovely lot features more flat yard space than you expect to find in the mountains (admittedly, with some helpful stone retaining walls). All this is within a couple blocks of the 22-acre Sweetgrass private Lake, suitable for canoeing or kayaking, swimming, or fishing. The Community Lake House overlooks the Lake and contains the well-equipped Fitness Center. There are about 3 miles of curated walking trails in Sweetgrass, dozens of acres of greenspace, plus access to trout-stocked Boone Fork Creek. A radon mitigation system was recently installed. Sellers have recently moved out, so the home is ready for YOUR immediate occupancy! What are you waiting for?
