Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, warm hardwood floors, a cozy fireplace, and dramatic prow-front windows fill the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with natural light while framing stunning western-facing mountain views. A wraparound deck and screened porch invite you to enjoy the scenery in every season. The thoughtfully designed layout features 3 bedrooms and 3 baths in the main home, with 1 bedroom and bath on each level. A separate 4th bedroom and bath above the detached two-car garage provides added privacy for guests, a home office, or bunk room. A brand new furnace and heat pump serving the entire home were recently intalled. The terrace level is made for entertaining, featuring over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living space complete with a hot tub, full bar area, fire pit, and multiple gathering spaces. Ample parking is a valuable bonus for hosting family, friends, or future rental guests. Additional features include a whole-house generator, partial furnishings, easy paved access from the Legion Road gate, and abundant wildlife, including Coosawattee's famous deer that often wander through the property.
