Ideally located within just a few blocks to boutiques, galleries, and dining on Main Street in the charming mountain town of Blowing Rock, this striking 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom contemporary residence offers a refined blend of modern architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and refined mountain living. The home’s exterior features dramatic architectural lines, hand-cut modern stone, Japanese rain chains, and imported Metropolis Black Trespa siding from the Netherlands-an innovative material celebrated for its sleek appearance, remarkable durability, and low maintenance. A tinted concrete driveway and thoughtfully designed entry create a memorable first impression. Inside, warm contemporary finishes balance the home’s modern design. The main level is highlighted by stunning 8-inch pre-finished nickel-gap cypress ceilings that bring warmth and character to the space, while elegant Venetian plaster walls add depth, texture, and a refined custom feel throughout the home. At the heart of the residence, the chef’s kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living, featuring premium Poggenpohl cabinetry, top-of-the-line Miele appliances, tile floors, and a dramatic quartz waterfall island that anchors the space with both beauty and function. The main level offers exceptional flexibility, including the opportunity for two primary suites with ensuite bathrooms, as well as an additional bedroom or office with a full bath conveniently located across the hall. Outdoor living is equally impressive. An expansive Brazilian Ipe deck, crafted from premium Mataverde wire-brushed Ipe wood, offers exceptional durability and a beautiful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. An additional covered deck wraps gracefully to the front of the home, creating multiple spaces to relax and gather. Riff-sawn wood stairs and lower-level flooring showcase distinctive grain patterns and superior craftsmanship. The lower-level living room features a sleek modern gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance, while two additional bedroom suites open through sliding glass doors to stone patios and well-appointed ensuite bathrooms with glass showers. An additional full bath is located off the living area, and double glass doors lead to the covered porte-cochère. A professionally installed deck membrane system protects the parking area below by preventing water intrusion, ensuring long-term durability and peace of mind. Combining brilliant architecture, curated luxury finishes, and a prime location to downtown Blowing Rock, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to experience elevated mountain living in one of the most sought-after communities.
