About 128 Mount Blaine Drive
Nestled on two lots totaling 1.8 acres, this 5-bedroom home was built by Al Clingan and radiates Southern charm, blending its classic "Natchez" Antebellum style with a welcoming 50-foot front porch and a spectacular valley view. The thoughtfully designed interior boasts soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, alongside 9-foot ceilings on the second floor and basement. The foyer welcomes you to this gracious and livable home with hand-pillowed limestone flooring that creates an old-world charm. The custom black walnut-paneled library was built on-site and features a handsome, marble-faced fireplace. Flowing directly off the foyer, the living room includes a custom-built mantel, a gas fireplace, extensive custom millwork, and ample windows that flood the space with natural light. Perfect for entertaining, the gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home. Custom designed by Laura Ilish, this kitchen includes Thermador and Viking appliances, dual ovens, and a warming drawer. Granite and Corian countertops beautifully complement the marble backsplash. Both the kitchen and the adjacent dining room overlook the breathtaking gardens. The family room is stunning, featuring 20-foot ceilings and a wall of windows equipped with Vista Film for UVA/UVB protection. The large fireplace is faced in volcanic rock with a raised hearth. One of the standout features of this room is the built-in entertainment center, showcasing European Walnut, Zebra Wood, and African Wenge detailing. Outside is a true oasis, complete with a custom 66 ft. pool and an incredible waterfall built by Mike Hodak. The gardens include many perennials as well as native and imported trees, including Variegated Beech, Virginia Magnolia, Sequoia, and Red Cedar, to name a few. The main-floor primary suite offers direct access to the patio and is well-appointed with two walk-in closets and a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring custom marble-tiled floors and a marble shower with Jolie filtered water. The dual vanities add convenience, and even the soaking tub enjoys a great garden view. The main-floor laundry room was recently upgraded with travertine flooring, a sink, and new countertops.
The additional four bedrooms on the second floor are quite spacious. Two of these rooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while another includes an ensuite bathroom with dual access to the hallway. The final bedroom is currently used as a second home office, featuring an adjoining sitting room with access to a private outdoor deck—offering plenty of flexible options for the space! The lower level offers a welcoming game room, providing a great space to cheer on your favorite sports teams or watch a movie. Check out the gym, which is large enough to accommodate all of your workout equipment. Despite all the finished spaces, the lower level still includes extensive storage options. The 3-car garage is 22 feet deep with 11-foot ceilings, featuring a workbench, steel lockers, deep storage shelves, and even a dog shower!
