See supplemental remarks. No one could describe this custom home better than the owner herself: "The strictly factual listing for this house may say something like "3 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, with flex space for another bedroom and media room; elevator, hardwood floors, carpeted bedrooms, downstairs den, gourmet kitchen, walk-in pantry, laundry room, office, and in-house storm shelter. Dog bath. Cove lighting in living room and all bedrooms." All of that would be true. What it wouldn't say is the absolute love with which this house was built, from the owners to the contractor to the construction workers themselves, who stretched their skills and imaginations to heights they didn't know they could reach. Even the tile pattern in the kitchen became a subtle work of art, with black subway tile outlining the room. The kitchen is a cook's dream, with two large Bianca sinks, a gas/convection stove, an arched ceiling painted robin's egg blue with cove lighting. There is island seating, a small breakfast nook, then a double-sided fireplace separating the kitchen and dining room. The floors in the living room and dining room are walnut; the dining room seating is four curved banquet seats that each seat two, the window is a curved wall of glass panels, and in the center of the room is a gorgeous chandelier hanging from the center of a plaster of Paris dome, antiqued and set off with cove lighting. Each of the bedrooms has a walk-in closet, a large en-suite bathroom with heated flooring, custom-designed walk-in showers with built-in lighting, outside controls so you don't have to walk into cold water to begin your shower, and a gas fireplace. Oh  and each bedroom has a jacuzzi with colored lights, where you can loll before the fireplace on a cold winter's night. And chandeliers. The master bedroom has LED starry night lighting above the Jacuzzi. Each piece of furniture was specifically chosen for the room where it sits. The living room is cozy, with red recliners and plenty of other seating, and a large TV over the fireplace. The downstairs den is cozier still, with a large sectional for sprawling and lounging. Off the den is a giant dog bath that also has its own entrance from outside, so if your fur baby gets muddy you don't have to go through the house but can take your pal straight into the tiled bathing area. This was designed for my Golden Retrievers, beloved dogs who love both mud and water. This may all sound grand, but what everyone who has visited has noticed is how cozy and welcoming the house is. It's a house for talking with friends, for having relaxed dinners, for sitting on the screened porch watching the sunsets and looking at the beauty of Wears Valley spread out before you, and hearing the church bells in the distance. It has been a house filled with laughter, with games and good times, and wonderful memories. Do I want to sell it? No. But we are older now and the time has come to downsize, to another wonderful house in wonderful Wears Valley that I haven't found yet and may have to build. Perhaps the reader can tell from what I've written that I love building houses, each one is different and has its own personality, and this house has the personality of a warm hug, joy, and endless beauty. My deepest wish is that it be used by someone who will love it as much as we have." Please see virtual tour.
