Set on 1.39 private acres in The Cliffs at Walnut Cove, this new construction residence is built by Vyne Homecrafters and thoughtfully designed by JLayton Interiors of Charlotte and The Studio of Christopher Phelps, bringing together refined interiors and the natural beauty of Western North Carolina in every sightline. At 6,268 square feet, the home offers four bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and a layout equally suited to quiet everyday living and easy entertaining.
