Rainbow's End

Once in a great while, a property of this kind becomes available on Lake Burton. With much anticipation, "Rainbow's End" will be completed by the end of May, 2009. This magical creation has risen out of the ground on one of the  most prominent points on the lake. With end of the road privacy and majestic lake and mountain views, this home will become a classic in years to come.

Extraordinary design, materials and workmanship have been combined to yield an unforgettable Lake Burton home. The thick cut cedar shake siding and fieldstone rock foundation set the exterior tone for the home. Native plantings embellish the grounds and make it appear as if the home has always been there. The cedar shake roof continures to enhnace the image of a cottage in the woods. A detached two car garage connects to the home by a breezeway and outdoor terrace area that includes an outdoor kitchen with sink, grill and refrigerator.

Once you enter the house, the reclaimed heart pine beams and trim set the stage for a notalgic trip back in time. Many of the interior doors , built in cabinets and bathroom vanities are turn of the century pieces updated for modern use. The home consists of five bedrooms: master on the main with sitting area and master bath  featuring steam shower and morning kitchen, additional master suite with bath and two guest rooms with adjoining baths are located on the second floor, and one bedroom with bath on the terrace level.  Each bedroom has wonderful lake views. There are laundry rooms on each of the three levels. In addition, there is an elevator shaft for future needs. The gourmet kitchen includes 48" Wolf range, warming dawer, 2 Bosch dishwashers, and fully integrated Sub Zero refrigerator with additional fridge drawers. A double farmhouse sink and secondary sink are set in a custom made rock maple butcher block topped island.  The vaulted ceiling lends a certain grandness to this spacious kitchen area. Large walk in pantry, cast iron lighted pot rack, and additional custom cabinets provide more than ample storage.  Just a few steps away is a wet bar with wine cooler, ice maker, and fridge drawers.

The large front lodge room and dining room are centered at the front of the house with casement windows and each area has its own fireplace. One needs only to step out to the screen porch and enjoy more lake views, dining area and additional fireplace. The terrace level features gracious den with massive fireplace, built in cabinets, a full galley syle kitchen to service the dock and additional outdoor bath area. Another fireplace is available just outside the terrace doors for additional  gatherings.

The cedar shake two story covered boathouse is easily accessed down a gentle path. Swim dock, storage rooms, and terraced walls provide all the necessary ingredients for easy lake living. Whole house water filtration system, attic fan, and high efficiency HVAC systems are but a few of the hidden values of this home. Once you have viewed this home, it will be no wonder to you why it is called "Rainbow's End".
