This custom built arts and crafts style home by Fern Creek Builders was designed to fit perfectly into its surroundings. Three bedrooms on the main level, with a fourth bedroom, bathroom, and family room downstairs provides private space for guests. The main level floor plan allows for smooth transitions throughout the home. The large island kitchen with gas stove and farm sink is located in the middle of the great room, creating the perfect spot for interacting with guests. The living room features a stone fireplace with gas logs. The main bathroom contains a luxurious soaking tub and separate shower. A screened-in back porch featuring a wood-burning stone fireplace is the ideal space for year-round gatherings and the rocking chair front porch provides a place to enjoy the sunrise each morning. The paved drive lined on one side with a custom-built rock wall, leads directly to a large portico with attached storage room providing coverage for two vehicles and locked space for gardening tools and equipment. Located in the heart of Sapphire Valley, close to Ingle's, downtown Cashiers, restaurants, and shopping, this would make a perfect year-round home or short-term rental property. Sapphire Valley amenities include pools, workout facilities, playground, track and two private lakes, with both the Fairfield Lake and Bald Rock trails located nearby. Low-maintenance landscaping surrounds the property and a small stream runs along the back of the lot near the flagstone firepit, perfect for cozy gatherings on chilly mountain evenings. Surrounded on two sides by Camp Merre Wood preserve, the property is insulated by forested land which provides peace and tranquility.
