About 5026 Wayah Rd

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to the "Geode House". You know that Franklin is the gem capital of the world, and this custom home is truly its hidden gem. With an intriguing exterior, this stunning 3 bed 4 bath home reveals its vibrant interior filled with character, charm, warmth, high end bathroom vanities and custom built cabinets throughout. It is reminiscent of the wonders found within a freshly opened geode. Sitting along loud, rushing Wayah Creek, this property takes advantage of over 240 feet of creek frontage and can be heard from every room in this home, while the National forest gives you privacy. The spacious layout, and extraordinary glass surround sunroom, offers abundant hosting options or your own private haven of serenity. Throughout the natural, brightly lit and spacious rooms, you can watch the hummingbirds, listen to the singing of the creek, while sipping your morning coffee. Or host gatherings in your elegantly designed living spaces. "The Geode House" is not just any home. It binds nature's tranquility with the refinement of a master craftsman's detailed touch. Don't miss this opportunity, because houses like this are truly once in a lifetime.
