Beneath a vaulted ceiling lined with exposed wood beams and steel tie accents, the great room sets the tone for everything Raven Crest does well. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, framed by built-in cabinetry and illuminated display shelving, with an iron chandelier overhead and a wall of windows pulling the Blue Ridge skyline inside. It reads as lodge warmth with real polish, the kind of room built for slow mornings and long fireside evenings. This is a Craig Gaulden Davis design, built by MacLeod and Sons in the Cliffs at Glassy, the original Cliffs gated golf and wellness community atop Glassy Mountain. The exterior is authentic mountain architecture: natural stone, stucco, custom wooden shutters, a cathedral wood-beamed entry, and solid alder doors above a cut flagstone walk. Set on 1.28 acres at more than 1,800 feet, the home faces southeast toward uninterrupted long-range views. The kitchen is the kind of warm, custom craftsmanship rarely found in newer construction. A copper-accented hood crowns the Wolf gas cooktop, with KitchenAid double ovens, a built-in KitchenAid refrigerator, a Wolf coffee system, a Sharp microwave drawer, and Fisher and Paykel dishwasher drawers worked into rich wood cabinetry and dramatic stone. An oversized island invites gathering, and the fam house sink sits beneath a picture window, so even the dishes come with a view. A keeping area with its own stone fireplace and a vaulted, beamed breakfast space keep everyone close while you cook. Entertaining flows from there. A walk-in scullery handles prep and storage near the dining room, where a custom coffered ceiling and French doors open to the front garden. The adjoining wet bar brings a quieter richness: custom cabinetry, honed dark stone, a hammered copper sink, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, a Scotsman icemaker, and a wine chiller behind glass-front display. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with southeast light and a spa-like bath, a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads, a water closet, and a makeup vanity. A walk-in closet and an adjoining den/study completes the wing. Two more main-level bedrooms each carry a full bath, ready for guests, a gym, or whatever the season asks for. Upstairs, an en-suite fourth bedroom with two wall pull-out beds works as guest quarters or a rec room, with walk-in attic access. The newly expanded lower level adds a private entrance, a half bath, and flexible space for a theater, a hobby room, or a true retreat. Outdoor living runs year-round. The deck carries automated retractable screens and vinyl covers, with a screened porch alongside and an enhanced view corridor framing the ridgeline for al fresco dinners and quiet evenings. The great room, keeping room, and breakfast nook all borrow the same southeast exposure, so the view follows you from the first cup of coffee to the last glass of wine, and the deck simply carries it outdoors when the weather turns fine. Recent improvements run deep: refinished hardwoods, a Lutron lighting system, new light fixtures, window shades throughout, a whole-house generator, a Sonos sound system, central vacuum, a FloMo water-monitoring system, a remodeled powder room, fresh paint inside and out, river rock accents, and refreshed landscaping with a circular drive and extra parking pad. Close proximity to the East gate on Raven Road, Raven Crest is one-level mountain living with room to spread out. A Cliffs Club membership is available to purchase with the home, opening access to all seven Cliffs communities.
