199 Staircase Falls Rd, Sapphire, NC 28774

Privately sited on a dead-end street along the 8th hole of the Burlingame Golf Course, this property sits on over an acre and offers unlimited potential for redesign with a combination of seclusion and course proximity. The circular driveway and low-maintenance yard keep the exterior as effortless as the setting. The main level is anchored by a great room with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace — an inviting, open-volume space well suited to mountain living. The kitchen, dry bar, spacious pantry, laundry room, and mud area are all on this level, along with a separate dining or flex room that adapts easily to changing needs. An upstairs loft overlooks the great room below, adding an additional layer of usable space. Two bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the lower level, where a screened porch stretches the full width of the home — a natural gathering place. The upper-level back deck is uncovered and sized generously for grilling, relaxing, and taking in the surrounding landscape. The sellers have maintained the natural tree buffer for privacy from the course, but a few selective trims would open a clean view of the 8th hole. Accessed from the mud room, an attached two-car garage includes a large, windowed bonus space — light-filled and versatile, easily configured as a studio, workshop, craft room, game area, or storage. With a bit of ingenuity, this property is the perfect canvas for its next chapter. Virtually staged photos are included to showcase the potential of the property.
