IMMERSE YOURSELF IN YEAR-ROUND MOUNTAIN VIEWS, FOREVER! Experience the magic of Western North Carolina from this exceptional Appalachian Mountain Contemporary retreat, where ever-changing mountain vistas become part of everyday life. Looking west toward iconic Mount Pisgah, the views unfold from the great room, sunroom, dining area, kitchen and expansive wraparound deck, with additional beautiful outlooks from the front gardens and lower-level suite. From misty mornings and brilliant blue skies to glowing sunsets, the sparkling pond along Cummings Cove's 10th fairway and the evening lights of the recently renovated clubhouse, every hour brings a new perspective. Living in Cummings Cove offers an extraordinary array of recreational and social opportunities, including golf, tennis, pickleball, bocce, fitness and wellness classes, and a wealth of social events-all creating opportunities for a fulfilling, active lifestyle among neighbors, surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Privately and conveniently positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac, this architect-designed home beautifully combines the warmth and character of mountain architecture with refined craftsmanship, remarkable outdoor living, endless views and the convenience of main-level living. Mature hardwoods, perennial gardens, natural stonework and the adjoining parcel create a private 0.72-acre sanctuary. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, Brazilian teak floors and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling hand-stacked stone fireplace anchor the light-filled great room. Walls of sliding French doors open to more than 500 SF of Trex decking, creating a seamless connection between the home and its spectacular mountain setting. The beautifully updated kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a Thermador gas cooktop, GE double convection ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, oversized pantry and garden-view breakfast area. The inviting four-season sunroom, with automatic blinds and a dedicated mini-split, is a favorite gathering space and opens directly to the decks, primary suite and pool. The spacious main-level primary suite enjoys tranquil private decking, outdoor pool and sunroom access, a custom walk-in closet and beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath. A second en-suite bedroom, oversized laundrey room and attached two-car garage further enhance the ease of main-level living.
