471 Barton Road, Taylors, SC 29687 MLS #1517758

Welcome to 471 N Barton Rd! A beautiful Modern Farmhouse, complete with a spring-fed stocked bass pond and salt water pool! Come see what an amazing architect and talented custom home builder have created: a truly resort style home nestled on 7 acres in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sit by the wood burning fireplace on your back patio and enjoy amazing views of the pool, fishing pond and woods surrounding the home. Gather with friends and family on the wraparound front porch as you take in the serenity of the forest (no neighbors in sight!). As you enter the home, you’ll be amazed by the upscale design choices and natural light as you take in the magnificent views. The double story living room has three sets of French doors that flow well for entertaining onto a grassy space which leads to the fully-fenced pool area. The main fireplace is the focal point with floor to ceiling ship lap woodwork that overlooks an open flow kitchen and informal dining area. The gourmet kitchen boasts custom built cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized island housing more storage, herringbone subway tile backsplash, high end Thermador stainless steel appliances (including an impressive gas range). The huge pantry and wall refrigerator can hold more Costco trips than you could dream of. Bring your groceries in through the oversized double garage (which includes built-in workbench and Fasttrack storage system) through the magazine-worthy mudroom which leads into the pantry/kitchen area. This five or six bedroom home (the sixth room could be used as an office, sitting room, playroom or formal dining room) has it all: curb appeal, upgraded details, solid oak hardwood floors throughout. Every room in the house has large custom built-in closets with ample storage. The master bedroom is on the main level and showcases a beautiful accent wall and sweeping views of the property. The master bath suite offers double vanities, quartz countertops, subway tile, soaking tub, beautiful new flooring, a separate walk-in shower with seat bench and a huge walk-in closet with custom built-ins! All of the bedrooms upstairs also have custom built-ins and tiled walk-in showers. The home also has a main floor laundry room (upstairs chute drops clothes right down!) and an additional large flex room/bonus room that is detached (access from covered front porch) which creates the perfect space for a home theater, workout room, home office, playroom or even an In-law suite! Do not miss all of the fabulous storage throughout this home which includes a fully floored attic space above flex room. The property has two wood-burning fireplaces, an over-sized underground propane tank, a well with double water-holding tanks, and its own septic - if you add solar you could live completely off the grid/self-sustainably! Owners have installed a wall connecting, Tesla charging station. Additionally, the property has brand new and lightning fast fiber internet, which makes this a great home for someone that works from home. Extra-large storage shed in the upper pasture can house your riding lawn mower and all the extra toys and gear. Check out the 3D virtual tour for the floor-plan and schedule your showing now.
