100 The Pinnacle Drive #5, Sapphire, NC

The quietude of Lake Soquilla defines the experience of this residence in Burlingame, where the architecture prioritizes the dialogue between mountain air and waterfront access. Constructed in 1991, the 3,455-square-foot home is arranged across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, featuring a main-level living area defined by cathedral ceilings and a substantial stone fireplace. The transition to the outdoors is managed through a screened porch and grounds designed by Mary Palmer Dargan, where stone pathways lead past a fire pit to a private dock. A lower-level configuration including a secondary kitchen and dedicated office space allows for sophisticated multi-generational utility. In the Sapphire submarket, inventory positioned directly on the water remains exceptionally scarce, as most properties trade elevation for direct lake frontage. This cul-de-sac location provides immediate proximity to the Burlingame Country Club while maintaining a distinct sense of seclusion. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
