This luxurious modern farmhouse is perfectly situated above the tranquil Tuckasegee River, a fisherman's dream stocked with trout and perfect for floating or kayaking directly from your backyard. The gently sloping, oversized lot offers one of the most desirable settings in the neighborhood, with a large grassy backyard, no flood damage during Hurricane Helene, and plenty of parking for family and guests. Inside, the home features a spacious open floor plan with beautiful river views from nearly every window. The main level includes a large living room that flows into an elegant kitchen and dining area with a half bath. From here, step onto one of two expansive Trex decks, ideal for lounging and entertaining while overlooking the river. The upper level serves as a true retreat, with a primary bedroom that opens into a spacious office with a sleek wet bar, a private Trex deck, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub and tiled shower. The third floor includes two generous guest bedrooms, each with its own private full bathroom. A Redwood Outdoors 6-person barrel sauna, featuring a powerful 8kW Harvia WiFi-controlled heater and a full glass wall that looks out over the water, creating a private wellness experience. The home also offers a large covered front porch, an oversized two-car garage with an unfinished upstairs, and tasteful stone landscaping that ties everything beautifully into the upscale neighborhood. Built with 2x6 construction, the home includes industrial-grade LVP flooring throughout, with durable carpet on the stairs. The design blends premium craftsman style with modern farmhouse touches. It comes fully furnished (excluding a few select pieces) and includes high-end appliances such as a washer, dryer, and refrigerator.
