About 42 W Black Rock Cir
With rare close-up views of Whiteside Mountain, this sophisticated log home is located in Highland’s highly desirable “Bowery Road” neighborhood. This home was completely reimagined by the architectural firm Pritchett & Dixon with a major 18-month renovation fusing the timeless charm of log and timber framing with a stunning rustic-modern interior. The oversized entry doors open into a soaring beamed ceiling living space with heart pine floors, wood burning fireplace and a timber-framed loft area that defines the dining area with French doors that open to a porch. The gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances and a bar area with a built-in Sub-Zero beverage center. An adjacent scullery expands the kitchen with a second oven & built-in espresso/coffee machine. The main level also includes the first of two primary bedroom/bathroom suites.

Outside is a ground level porch with additional parking & a level 2 car charger.
