Sweet Serenity- hot tub, pool table, views, fire pit, community lake!

Welcome to Sweet Serenity! This beautiful BRAND NEW (completed Summer 2024) custom home, nestled in the breathtaking community of Sweetgrass just a few miles to downtown Blowing Rock, has been designed and carefully outfitted with every comfort in mind.

Sleeping accommodations:
Sweet Serenity is a 4 bedroom home with 2 additional sleeping spaces on the upper level. See room details below.

The main level features a unique layout with two areas intended to gather and fellowship with loved ones. Beautifully vaulted ceilings, a log-lined great staircase, gas fireplace with HDTV mounted above, and cozy couches & easy chairs provide plenty of space for everyone. There's room for the entire group to enjoy meals together, between the picnic-style table with Captains chairs and long bench-style seating as well as five leather stools at the oversized kitchen island. And those meals everyone enjoys will be a snap to prepare in the open, airy kitchen offering expansive granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator with icemaker and a gas range.

Head upstairs or a friendly game of pool or foosball in the open loft. The gas fireplace and TV create a welcoming ambience for an evening of fun. There's also a table where you can enjoy card and board games, as well as an overstuffed easy chair to catch up on your favorite book (or catch a nap, we won't judge!)

The outside offers as much as the interior here at Sweet Serenity. The expansive decks offer views of the surrounding forest, and you're sure to enjoy time in rockers as well as dining al fresco on the open air section or enjoying the cool mountain breezes under the covered section. Take a soothing dip in the hot tub and tell stories and roast marshmallows at the stone firepit in the yard.

Time for bed? Sweet Serenity offers a total of six sleeping areas. On the main level you'll find a King suite with a little desk & chair, TV, and deck access with its private bath featuring a tub/shower; as well as a Queen bedroom and a Twin/Full bunk bedroom that share a hallway bath with shower. Upstairs the sleeping accommodation is designed to be suitable for a family with multiple kids, as you'll find a second King suite with private bath with shower and separate tub, as well as two more spaces that share a half bathroom. One has two Full beds and the other has a Twin Daybed with Trundle bed.

ABOUT SWEETGRASS
Within the neighborhood is Boone Fork Creek, which winds through the middle of Sweetgrass and has been designated as a North Carolina Outstanding Trout Stream. Just a little ways up the road at the heart of SweetGrass is the 22-acre lake fed by Boone Fork Creek! Bring your own canoes/kayaks and paddles to enjoy this beautiful lake!

Sweetgrass features beautiful mountain vistas, a lake and stream, and miles of pristine mountain trails which are perfect for hiking, riding, and biking. At Sweetgrass you'll find a mountain playground like no other. Here, each season brings with it something spectacular. The springtime is ablaze with wildflowers, the summers are filled with warm days and cool nights which are perfect for daytime outdoor adventures and evenings around the firepit, fall's foliage is absolutely stunning, and the snows of winter transform the area into a picturesque winter wonderland.

Each season is perfect for outdoor recreation, but there is much more to do here than simply enjoy the splendor of nature. There are also a variety of festivals, community events, upscale shops, and gourmet restaurants to enjoy in Blowing Rock.
