Welcome home!

This charming and immaculate energy efficient, ranch style home sits on a private knoll nestled among rhododendron, mountain laurel, pine, dogwoods, sourwoods, Canadian hemlock and oaks.  Beautifully nurtured, this home has large rooms and many eco-friendly and environmental features to include Energy Star appliances, low VOC paint, lots of natural light, indigenous landscaping, a meditation garden, water filtration system, low maintenance exterior, and a rain barrel harvesting system for gardening.  Delightful for entertaining, company or a quiet lifestyle ~  this is a home to enjoy!

Upon entering this property listen for a cacophony of birdsong.  You may see cardinals, blue jays, hawks, or a red bellied woodpecker just to name a few. Notice to your left, the raised, stacked stone garden and the herb garden.

Following the steps up to the left, notice the reflection bench for another exquisite view of the mountains.

From the driveway, follow the stone step walkway in front of the spacious covered front porch to the southern gardens. To your left, a raised, stacked stone garden along the walkway. Purple verbena cascade over the stone. When you reach the southern gardens by the sunroom, a pink dogwood shelters three light pink Anthony Waterer Spirea, a variety of rose, red and pink Sweet William grace the ground.  Looking south, against the background of the mountains a scalloped garden nurtures may apples,  red and yellow yarrows, white snapdragons, blue bell and blue balloon flowers, black eyed Susan’s, yellow coreopsis, purple and white columbine,  stargazer lilies, and a variety of bulbs to include tulips, purple irises, daffodils, snow drops, and red, white and blue hyacinths. 

The hill behind the house features periwinkle and white hydrangeas with deep rose crepe myrtle. You may observe birds feeding from the kitchen or dining room windows.

The interior of the home features handcrafted cabinetry in the living and dining rooms with a large pantry in the kitchen. A speaker system is in the living room.  There is lots of natural lighting throughout the home. Each room features beautiful, long range views of the mountains.  Natural colors provide a tranquil setting. 

The bedroom area is quiet.  The master bedroom and bath are a private retreat with a garden, whirlpool tub and shower, hickory cabinets. There is a speaker system for your enjoyment. A large walk in closet featuring Closet Maid assures lots of space. The slider in the bedroom provides access to a 12 x 18 sunroom overlooking the gardens to the south.  A Juliet balcony provides long range views of the southern and western mountains.

The other bedrooms provide stunning views of Mule Pen Mountain to the southwest.
