Relaxed, easy living is the keystone of 437 Whispering River. Frontage on the New River sets the stage for immediate access to kayaking, canoeing, tubing, and fishing. Or, simply ease into peacefulness listening to the whispering river music as it passes through shoals on the river. The Whispering River community reflects the rolling, pastoral rural Ashe County beyond it: quiet, laid-back, a slow pace to enjoy each day. The main floor great room is a majestic open area with living room, kitchen, dining area, opening to the back deck that looks over the New River. A soaring vaulted ceiling amplifies the room’s spaciousness, delightfully highlighted by an elk antler chandelier. Gorgeous wide plank hardwood flooring accents all rooms on the main and upper levels. Charming elegance is the back story to 437 Whispering. Attention to high quality detail throughout the home greets you with quiet luxury as you move through the home. Also on main level: master en suite, formal dining room, and screened in outdoor room. 3 bedrooms and 2nd living area are upstairs. The lower level incudes a 2nd kitchen, 3rd living area, 2 bonus rooms used as sleeping areas by the current owner, and patio.
