First time ever on the market! This custom-built home was designed by Zanardo Architects and created by Dan DeJiacomo Custom Homes. It offers a rare combination of craftsmanship and millwork throughout, privacy, and thoughtful design in Big Canoe's sought-after McElroy Mountain neighborhood. Perfectly positioned on a peaceful & private wooded setting, this home welcomes you with a deep front porch that's an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to the High Gap Park trail system. Simply use the access trail next door and hit 6 trail options without ever getting in your car. What truly sets this home apart are the features that are difficult to find in Big Canoe: a detached oversized 3-car garage, an easy driveway with ample guest parking, a beautifully finished bonus room with a full bath above the garage, and the convenience of a rare residential elevator providing easy access to both levels for all generations. Main level: It is designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. Hardwood floors flow throughout (minus the master bath) and expansive windows bring the outdoors in. The large foyer accents the soaring ceilings, and the residential elevator is at your disposal. The open-concept layout includes a spacious living room with a stone fireplace, an inviting sunken sitting alcove, a large dining area, and an expansive kitchen featuring premium appliances, abundant cabinetry, ample stone countertops, and two pantries. The private primary suite offers its own deck, walk-in closet, and a large bath with a separate shower and whirlpool tub. A functional landing room just off the kitchen provides additional storage and organization alongside a convenient half bath. Terrace level: Accessible by either the staircase or elevator, it offers exceptional flexibility for family and guests with durable manufactured flooring throughout. A large den with a second fireplace creates the perfect gathering space, while two bedrooms are divided by a full bath. This level also includes a laundry room, multiple dedicated storage areas, and a spacious screened porch with slate tile flooring, ceiling fans, and an under-deck system that extends your outdoor living opportunities. The bonus room with a full bath above the 3-car garage is approximately 850 square feet and has a full bath, independent HVAC and water heater. Because of its separate entrance through the garage, abundant storage, and natural light, this space offers endless possibilities. A workspace, fitness studio, game room, or space for creativity are just a few possibilities. However you use it, the main residence won't be disturbed by the activity!! Below, the oversized 3-car garage is approximately 1,072 sq ft and provides abundant room for your primary vehicles, hobby car, or storage while the short, covered breezeway offers protected access to the home. Upgrades: The big capital improvements have been taken care of to liberate your budget! The upgrades include a roof (2022), two HVAC systems (2026), and two water heaters (2025).
