The home at 1168 Grouse Gap Drive in Big Canoe brings style and elegance to the North Georgia mountains. The home presents a very impressive picture as you traverse the long curved drive to the front of the home. A large parking pad fronts a detached two-car garage and the stone paved walk to the portico entrance with stacked stone steps and columns. As attractive as this view is, however, the true beauty lies in the panoramic mountain vistas which seem to go on forever from nearly every room in the home and the two decks on the rear of the home.
The foyer entry welcomes you with high ceilings and hardwood floors. Adjacent to the foyer lies the formal dining room with beautiful dark grain wainscoting and a dark grain coffered ceiling. To the front the great room appears and presents the first glimpse of the spectacular view of the mountains.
The great room features a trio of floor-to-ceiling circle top windows which look out onto the main level deck and further to the beautiful mountainous landscape. The center window contains a set of French doors for ease of access to the deck or to allow the fragrant mountain breezes into the home. A large stacked stone fireplace flanked by custom built-ins is the central focal point of the great room and the room also features a coffered ceiling with elegant crown molding.
The great room is open to the chef’s kitchen which is also filled with natural light from a contoured wall of floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding the eat-in area. With custom cabinets and granite counters, including the counter of the central range-top island, as well as integrated appliances the kitchen easily mixes functionality and modern design. Additional elements include a wine rack integrated into the island, an open butler’s pantry or coffee station with a basin, and tile back splashes.
The master suite features hardwood floors and a trey ceiling. A spacious sun room provides a separate sitting area with a natural grain tongue and groove cathedral ceiling. The sun room has access to the main level deck and quite possibly displays the best of the mountain views as it features three walls full of windows. The master bathroom features a tile floor, separate dual vanities with granite counters, a custom soaking tub, private water closet and a tile shower enclosure with a glass door.
The terrace level of the home contains two additional bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms has access to a rear porch separated by a screened portion of the covered lower deck. The terrace level also features a spacious den with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that lead to the screened porch.
The gated community of Big Canoe is truly unique. Private residences dot the mountainous landscape surrounded by an immense variety of outdoor activities including the premier golf course of this country club community. The luxury and elegance of an executive home and the natural beauty of north Georgia come together in brilliant harmony at 1168 Grouse Gap Drive in Big Canoe, Georgia.
