About this property
Lessons From Mars - Stunning views from the hot tubs! Dog friendly!
Welcome to Lessons from Mars!
Sitting atop Beech Mountain, this newly built home is the perfect place to settle in.
The main level, accessed with just one step from the parking area, has a central great room with high ceilings, a wall of windows and sliding glass doors overlooking the views, a stone gas log fireplace, a built in log mantle, and large screen TV. Comfortable furniture is arranged around the fireplace and looking out the windows. Also in the great room is a dining table with room for all, featuring long bench style seating and two cozy head seats. Just steps away you'll find the fully stocked kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances.
Just steps through the sliding glass doors you'll find the gas grill and large hot tub. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views!
The master suite, in the east wing of the main floor, has a King bed, and a private bathroom with a custom tiled shower, a granite vanity, and a linen closet.
The upper loft suite features a large king bed, with gas fireplace and HDTV. There is a balcony overlooking the large living room, so you'll never miss out on any of the action!
Downstairs in the "bear cave" you'll find a spacious mother in law suite with a full kitchen! There is a queen bed along with a full bathroom. Perfect for guests that need their own space!
This home was truly designed with everyone's comfort in mind. Close proximity to Beech Ski Resort means you can hit the slopes during the day and watch the stars twinkle while you soak in the hot tub.
