As a Realtor it is not often homes make me speechless, but this custom 3 bedroom 2.5 bath mountain cottage does! The Seller's design choices and attention to detail speak for itself and the pride they took while constructing this home. As you enter from the covered porch your eyes will be drawn to the stained shiplap ceiling with wooden beams and upgraded lighting. The tasteful mix of white shiplap with board and batten showcases the floor to ceiling fireplace like you stepped into an episode on HGTV. The abundance of windows with custom sades allows natural light to shine in while providing beautiful mountain views on the entire main floor. The stained shiplap continues through to the kitchen. The kitchen offers an ample amount of gray cabinetry and a extra large island, perfect for gathering. Just off the kitchen is the enormous covered back deck with custom privacy shades. The amazing views of the almost acre and a half lot are not the only thing that makes this backyard stand out! What's a custom home without a custom tree-house with a swinging bridge and wine deck? The Master Bedroom is also located off the kitchen. The en suite has an over sized glass and tile shower with 3 shower heads, his and her sinks in a custom height vanity and extra cabinets for storage. Just off the side entry porch is the mud room/laundry room providing the home with it's own charm! This space has brick flooring and built-ins, along with a half bath. Up the handcrafted staircase you will find 2 additional bedrooms with a full bath and a loft. If all this is not enough to steal your heart, let me add that the basement is almost completed with it's own patio and entrance, an additional bedroom, living space and bath! Dry wall is up! Duct work ran and ready! Bathroom has shiplap and is plumbed, just waiting for a sink and toilet. This home is truly one of a kind! The love, care and thoughtful details stand out on every floor and every room! Helen, Patton Lake and Unicoi State Park are just a few minutes away.
