Cottage Style, Rushing Water and Privacy
Perfectly Sized and Sited, on Rushing Water and Waterfalls
$1,174,000
Extremely appealing, this gorgeous water front home exudes cottage style. The location is in Burlingame in Sapphire, North Carolina, a remarkable part of the world in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Waterfall on Burlingame Creek
The setting really needs to be seen to be appreciated. The 3.39 acre site allows for perfect views of rushing, bold Burlingame Creek with several waterfalls, from several locations in the house, including the large, screened porch with stone, wood-burning Fireplace. You’ll have water noise any time of year, rain or shine. We are told by the owner that the visitors to this home often go out on the screened porch to enjoy a fire and the noise from the waterfalls, and wake up hours later!
Screened Porch with Fireplace
The materials used in the home’s construction are one of a kind, quality materials and were thoughtfully put together by expert craftsmen. The Cedar shingles are cut extra thick and combed to help shed water and snow and were brought to the North Carolina Mountains from Canada.
Living Room
The open concept floor plan allows for host and guest interaction, and the cathedral ceilings give the feeling of volume. The massive floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace in the living area is a focal point of this home. Judicious use of the floor plan space allowed the creator of the home to add an under-stair wine storage/tasting area that only adds to the home’s charm!
Burlingame Cottage Cabinetry
The cabinetry in the home was hand made by a third-generation cabinet maker…such quality just doesn’t often exist. On closer inspection, the thickness of the cabinet and drawer walls and the craftsmanship become evident.
Master Suite
The serene master suite is intimate and soothing, with its own stone fireplace, and en suite bath with large, walk-in closet. Double doors provide access to the screened porch for morning coffee or for any time enjoyment of the home’s setting.
Upstairs, you’ll find 2 additional bedroom suites and a large family/office/media room. The finishes are of the same quality as the rest of the home, and the effect is one of grace and charm. Guests will undoubtedly want to return for a longer visit.
A large, double garage provides car storage, and there’s crawl space storage as well, for the Christmas decorations or whatever else needs storing!
The home’s furnishings are available outside of closing. Most of the pieces seen in the photos are available. MLS #81828 Asking $1,174,000
