Property details
About 453 Bright Mountain Rd
You are immediately encouraged to view a transformation of epic proportions...while it's still available! What is now a true diamond was once a piece of coal. The Owners have commissioned a contemporary & mountain chic "chalet style" property in Bright Mountain, on the sunny side of Lake Glenville.. Newly re-constructed, everything is tastefully updated after taking it down to the studs. Think "new construction" in a vintage A-Frame style dwelling. From the Timber-Chinked walls, to the rough sawn flooring, new windows and doors, all mechanical including HVAC units, structural engineering, landscape upgrades including boulder walls and parking areas, foundation improvements, stone fireplace improvements and rock work, designer lighting and mountain chic fixtures, custom cabinetry and high end appliances in the kitchen, bathrooms all have designer tile work, and decs/deckrails! Did I mention incredible Lake Glenville views suitable for morning coffee or an evening cocktail hour with friends and family? In summary, this is a 4BR/5BA masterpiece that lives large but is not overwhelming. It 'flows"...from the driveways to the entry, to the vaulted living-kitchen-fireplace-deck areas, to the upper "honeymoon suite" primary bedroom, to the main floor guest suites, to the lower-level multi purpose living environment. Meanwhile, this property brings the outside in, thanks to the surrounding hills, pastures, lakes, mountains, and streams that bless it. Culowhee and Cashiers are the true blend of living in solitude but being close to everything!
