Welcome to 103 Chestnut Ridge, a timeless Italian Villa perched discreetly above the 15th green of The Blackthorn Club at The Ridges. This home is absolutely stunning and is one of the most exclusive properties in the Appalachian Highlands. The main driveway enters into a private Motor Court that offers ample parking and access to a 3-car garage. Just beyond, the Porte-Cochere provides a private entrance for the family into the entry hall, which includes a mudroom, closets and access to the second level. Mahogany French Doors with Iron Inlay sweep you into the foyer, where you can move between levels or enter the formal living room, which is highlighted by a custom limestone mantle. The original kitchen flows into a keeping room and also connects to a family dining room. An addition, designed by Jonathan Miller, was completed in 2017 and compliments the home perfectly. A chef's kitchen with Wolf/Sub-Zero appliances, cast iron sink and a massive island is truly a stunner. The open floor plan also leads into a dining area suited for even the largest gatherings and a spacious family room. From the Peacock Pavers on the floor to the Shiplap on the walls to the 12-foot high tongue and groove ceilings with coffered beams, no detail has been spared. The addition also added a Billiard Room and a ground-level Loggia, fitted with 9-foot exterior doors, bluestone pavers and lined with iron windows. Today's buyer will appreciate the master suite on the main level. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the ridge and there is even private access to the back patio. The bathroom feels like a spa, with his and her vanities, soaker tub, walk-through shower and a closet spacious enough for all four seasons. A laundry room with a farmhouse sink and wood countertops, as well as two half-bathrooms complete the main level.
There is plenty of room upstairs, too. There are two en-suite bedrooms which are separated by a large den. Also notice two private office spaces, a storybook nursery, exercise room and a media room with a dedicated bathroom. The lower level provides ample space for storage,
dedicated golf cart parking with direct access to the golf course and a private sports court with 24/7 lighting. The covered back patio may be where you spend most of your time, however. Herringbone brick floors, dedicated cooking and dining areas and one of the best views in East Tennessee will certainly draw you outdoors. Also outside, a secondary driveway was added to accommodate deliveries and direct access to the loggia. Professional landscaping, timed exterior lighting and window shades, custom awnings with iron sidebars, five separate HVAC units and an irrigation/drainage system are just some of the other items that provide convenience, comfort and safety.
