About the home
Beautifully situated in the wooded landscape of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, this grand yet inviting home is a celebration of timeless craftsmanship and its natural surroundings. Mature woods and extensive perennial gardens create a remarkable sense of seclusion, while stone and natural-edge cedar siding and a cascading water feature allow the home to settle beautifully into the landscape. Inside, a substantial post-and-beam design lends warmth and authenticity to beautifully proportioned rooms. Paneled and beamed ceilings, elegant full-masonry fireplaces and thoughtful finishes speak to a level of craftsmanship that feels both enduring and refined. At the heart of the home, the stunning gourmet kitchen features a generous granite island, butler’s pantry and an effortless connection to the drop zone and breezeway leading to the two-car garage. An inviting screened porch offers a front-row seat to the surrounding gardens and woodland, the perfect setting for quiet mornings, lingering evenings and the sounds of nature. Geothermal heating adds efficient comfort, while a thoughtfully regraded driveway provides a smoother, more gracious approach. Rich in character yet wonderfully serene, this is a home where architecture, craftsmanship and nature come together with uncommon ease.
