Newly Priced! Picture a place where you truly embrace the magic of the Blue Ridge Mountains for you to call your own. Seeing the home's potential, dedicated curators recaptured a mountain chalet's charm of its original facade + some. Creating new vision of the existing structure, the home was taken to the studs-a complete rebirth. Now, the 4 BR + 4.5 BA home is filled with high-end essentials & exquisite furniture for you to cherish. That's right, the house is offered furnished! This secret community, located halfway between Highlands & Cashiers, is the perfect place to enjoy both towns equally. Prepare yourself to drive down a circular driveway to be faced with unobstructed Whiteside Mountain & Cashiers Valley views. Through the front door, wide plank wood floors are quickly noticed throughout. Your eyes are drawn to cathedral ceilings + impressive timber beams. 2 bedrooms are on the main level with ensuite bathrooms, plus a powder room. Exquisite, the master suite offers a reading nook & astonishing views! The master bathroom has gorgeous marble tile running into the glass shower, double vanity, & large walk-in closet. The main level guest suite also has a reading nook & bathroom with designer printed tile + walk-in shower. An open kitchen & living room are great places to gather. Host Thanksgiving from the kitchen of your dreams. Loaded with luxury appliances like a LaCornue gas range, the kitchen has a plethora of cabinet storage. Open the sliding doors from the dining area to relax by the fire on the screened porch. Continue downstairs, where the den's is highlighted by gas logs in a stone fireplace & bar area. The den leads to 2 ensuite guest rooms, with private baths & a mudroom. Pass through sliding doors to a patio then follow the walkway to bask in never-ending Whiteside Mountain views by the stone firepit. This home is the epitome of modern Southern Appalachian charm & the definition of getting away - Yes, please!
