1759 W Christy Trail, Sapphire, NC 28774

Relish the sound of a nearby babbling stream from this newer, solidly-built home in the heart of Sapphire Valley. The large front porch invites you to bring a rocking chair and stay all day. Entering through the front door, your eyes are drawn to the beautiful, wide-planked flooring throughout the home. An open floor plan allows the living room to flow into the dining and kitchen areas, where you will find high-end appliances, including a commercial-grade gas range, honed granite countertops, and a copper farmhouse-style sink. Along with the dining area, the four-seat breakfast bar provides plenty of room for a larger family or guests. The two stone fireplaces with gas starters - in the living room and on the rear screened porch - will keep you warm on the chilliest of evenings. On the main level, make yourself at home in the primary bedroom with its walk-in closet and spacious bathroom with tiled, frameless shower and marble countertops. Another half-bathroom on the main level allows for convenience. Upstairs, guests or family members can seek their privacy in another two bedrooms and a full bathroom. This home has been extensively upgraded, with new appliances, plumbing fixtures (Toto toilets), tankless water heater, lighting fixtures, and door hardware. A fully encapsulated crawl space and dehumidifier keep the home comfortably dry. The 1.09-acre lot, with its huge rock outcroppings scattered throughout the property, provides a naturally low-maintenance landscape next to a large tract owned by Sapphire Valley Master Association. What a great spot for kids or pets to explore or for you to simply enjoy the privacy! Just a stone's throw away is a common area on Hogback Lake where you can picnic or go fishing. A short drive away, you'll find all of the amenities offered by Sapphire Valley, including three heated swimming pools, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, a playground, miniature golf, gem mining, and so much more.
