Built by Mill Creek Post & Beam, this home features soaring rustic living spaces, a lodge-inspired double-sided masonry fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows with mountain views, a wrap-around patio deck, and incredible custom woodwork that is prevalent throughout the home. The heart of this home is the 2-story, great room with breathtaking mountain views and a magnificent masonry fireplace. A private staircase leads to a spacious loft/office above, overlooking the great room and mountain views. Adjacent to the great room is the spacious gourmet kitchen with Monogram appliances, a large island, stone counters, and a generous walk-in pantry. The kitchen overlooks the cozy dining area, which easily seats 10+. The main level is complete with the elegant, private owner's retreat and two spacious guest bedrooms.

This home has various upgrades, including Pine floors throughout, copper gutters, shelving system in the primary closet, stacked stone backsplash in the kitchen, tankless water heater, Pella double pane windows, and jetted water soaking tubs in the primary and upstairs guest suites. In 2022 the home interior was re-painted, interior floors and exterior decks re-finished, kitchen cabinets re-painted, new hardware was added, and trees were trimmed for mountain vista views. This property features a fenced paddock and two 2-acre lots. Somebody could build a second home, hobby barn, or garage on the second lot. Both lots border the neighborhood's walking/equestrian trail system, which provides access to the beautiful Etowah River.
