Nestled in the prestigious Cliffs at Glassy, this thoughtfully updated home blends privacy, elevated mountain vistas, & effortless indoor-outdoor living. Perched at over 2,100 feet, it captures sweeping southern-facing views across layered ridges & the cityscape, while a long, private drive sets a dramatic & welcoming approach. Thoughtful upgrades—including ADA-compliant features—enhance both comfort & accessibility, creating a refined & flexible mountain retreat. Stepping through the custom Saluda Forge front door, a transitional entry provides a moment of pause, ideal for displaying art, while offering practical storage for everyday ease. The home opens to a vaulted great room defined by an expansive wall of Pella windows framing Paris Mountain & the valleys below. Soaring ceilings, rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, & classic trim amplify natural light & create an airy, gallery-like space that draws the eye to the horizon. Clean architectural lines let the landscape & views take center stage, while a gas fireplace adds warmth & ambiance.

The gourmet kitchen is both functional & welcoming, appointed with a paneled cabinet-front refrigerator, professional-grade appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, & a generous island ideal for gathering. Brazilian cherry flooring continues throughout, visually unifying the space. The dining area, expanded by the current owner to host 10–12 guests, flows naturally from the living space & opens to an expansive deck. An adjoining office with built-in desk overlooks sculptural garden rock formations, making it ideal as a flex space, wine room, or butler’s pantry, while an enlarged laundry area enhances everyday convenience. The generous primary suite features an open layout with continued rich flooring & clean lines that draw the eye to a large picture window. Sweeping mountain & city views fill the space with natural light by day & sparkling skyline vistas at night. The room’s scale easily accommodates a reading nook or writing desk by the window, while soft walls & crisp trim create a calm, gallery-like backdrop. The primary bath includes a large tub with views, zero-entry shower, & neutral-toned tile, creating a serene retreat. The second main-level bedroom is a versatile en suite, perfect as an office or den, reimagined in 2024 with new windows & barn doors that integrate seamlessly with the home’s architecture. A walk-up attic, accessed by permanent stairs, offers generous, easily accessible storage, completing the main level. The expansive lower level, with full bath & walk-in closet, serves as a private third bedroom or flexible space. Additional room allows for a kitchenette, adding convenience for guests or extended stays. Outdoor living is anchored by an updated deck that captures the home’s orientation & sweeping views.
