Anchored by a stunning outdoor wood-burning fireplace, it's easy to picture mornings with coffee wrapped in a blanket, family dinners that linger long after the plates are cleared, football Saturdays, and evenings spent listening to the sounds of the mountains. This isn't just outdoor living, it's where life happens. The thoughtfully designed floor plan is equally impressive, offering main level living with a spacious primary suite, two additional guest suites, an office, laundry, & open gathering spaces, while the upstairs retreat provides a private fourth bedroom, full bath, sitting area, and flex space. Located just minutes from Western Carolina University!
