The Great Life on Tiger Mountain Beckons!
By John Shivers
Point your vehicle up to the last house on paved Falling Springs Drive, through the automatic wrought iron gate, where you will soon enjoy 180 degree views as far as the eye can see of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.
Passing through the gate you have a choice. Bear left and you’ll come to the back of the house which leads to a garage and huge workshop, where outdoor and pleasure machinery is stored. Straight ahead, and you reach the front courtyard bordered by hand-built stone walls, oversize double garages and the covered front entrance. Bear to the right, and you’ll find the custom-built smoker and barbecue and ample additional parking. Don’t miss the 35’ flagpole with in-ground lighting in the courtyard,
This home on 3.5± acres was built in 2006, and is surrounded by profusions of Mother Nature’s seasonal foliage, supplemented by other flowering shrubs and trees. The pristine landscaping literally marries this 4,075± square foot, two-level home, with its setting, and a 1,550 gallon rainwater system augments all irrigation and extra water needs. A cart path has recently been constructed to access the new raised garden beds and fruit trees.
The perfection outdoors stages an encore performance indoors. As you enter through the one of a kind front door, you are immediately met with breathtaking views, old growth hickory floors, vaulted wood ceilings with massive beams and bead board detailing.
Everywhere you look, quality materials and finishes proclaim the degree of workmanship invested. Just one example is the Pella® Designer Series windows used throughout the home, with stringless in-window blinds, many with hideaway screens.
Large rear decks expand the home’s entertainment footprint, and unite indoors and out from the living room, master bedroom and screened porch.
Four bedrooms, four baths and one half bath make this the perfect family home. Two ensuite bedrooms, including the master suite, are on the main level. His and Hers walk in closets with custom organizers and the expansive bathroom with double vanity, jetted tub and shower complete the suite. Two additional en-suite bedrooms, a family room with professional pool table and a separate gym, plus an enormous workshop and climatecontrolled storage are on the lower level.
Custom stone fireplaces are on both levels, with a Buck wood insert in the great room.
Custom cabinetry in mellow honey tones and granite counter tops are utilized in many areas, and surround sound/AV equipment are in place on both levels. The dream kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Wolf appliances include double ovens, cook-top, hood liner and microwave. The dishwasher is Bosch.
The lower level mini kitchen includes a Sub-Zero fridge, Sub-Zero ice maker and Whirlpoo®l microwave. This is a turnkey opportunity with custom furniture by America’s finest craftsmen, original, signed and limited edition artwork, for a lifestyle that most people can only imagine. Exceptional privacy, yet less than 10 minutes to Ingles, Home Depot and downtown Clayton. Own this home and it’s your daily reality.
