156 Cottage Dr., Sapphire, NC 28774

First time on the market, this home has a great central location with a premium on privacy. It’s set on a cul-de-sac and features a babbling brook with the 9th hole of the Burlingame Golf Course as its backdrop. The extensive lower level, with its ‘in the forest’ feel, and loft area was designed by the seller, a renowned British architect. The main floor remains a work in progress with all kinds of possibilities. High ceilings and floor-to-ceiling fireplace, a dominant feature in the great room, an ample-sized kitchen with a split floor plan - the primary bedroom suite on one end and the guest rooms and bath on the other with loads of storage giving an opportunity to create your custom design. Then there's the screened porch on the main floor level overlooking the 9th hole and an open deck to enjoy the outdoors. The lower bath features a steam shower and the ‘forest level’ benefits from further linked terraces to enjoy al fresco dining.
