Welcome to "Slice of Heaven," also known as Townhome R5A, a captivating 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath haven that accommodates up to 10 guests. Marvel at the spectacular long-range views that grace this beautiful townhome. The main floor boasts a recently updated fully equipped kitchen, adorned with new granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a range with double ovens, microwave, and a Keurig Coffee machine. The great-room is a cozy haven featuring a stunning gas stone fireplace, an HD TV with Spectrum cable, comfortable seating, and a dining room with a spacious farm table seating 8. The primary bedroom on this level is a luxurious retreat with a king-size bed, HD TV, and a primary bath offering a separate shower and soaking tub, complete with a hairdryer. Step onto the main deck to experience breathtaking layered long-range views, furnished with a patio table seating 6, a bistro table for 4, and a George Foreman electric grill.
Venture to the upper level, where two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill full bath, equipped with a hairdryer. One bedroom features two full-size beds, while the other boasts a queen bed and a convenient writing desk.
The lower level is a haven of relaxation, featuring a sitting room with a 50-inch surround-sound TV, a full bath with a hairdryer, and a bedroom with a queen-size bed, a comfortable chair, and an ottoman. Step out onto the deck to find sectional seating and a new gas fire pit, providing the perfect setting to savor more awe-inspiring long-range views. Conveniently located near the clubhouse and seasonal outdoor pool (open May 1 - Oct. 1), Townhome R5A offers an unforgettable mountain retreat.
Resorts' Amenities: Amenities in these gated resorts include indoor and outdoor (seasonal May 1 - Oct. 1) swimming pools with hot tubs, two private clubhouses, fitness rooms, stocked fishing ponds, a 23-acre riverfront park, community hiking trails and catch and release fishing.
Location: This Resort is centrally located to Boone, Banner Elk, Valle Crucis and Blowing Rock in the Foscoe area.
