Unparalleled in design and craftsmanship and with an eye towards preserving elements of this historic homestead property (see "A House Full of History" below), this home marries the perfect blend of antique building materials and the most up-to-the-minute modern amentities.
One step into the entry foyer and you will see the attention to scale and detail throughout. The builder lovingly used materials reclaimed from an old farmhouse--barnwood flooring, a marble fireplace, distressed beadboard and tin ceiling tiles--throughout this spacious and light-filled three bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home.
The master suite on the main floor features his & hers dual sinks, a separate tub and tiled shower, as well as generous closet and storage space. Nature gets an invitation indoors in the light-filled sunroom.
The kitchen--designed with the French countryside in mind--has granite counters and center island, upgraded stainless steel appliances, a professional-grade vented hood and delightful parquet floors.
The exterior of the home is well-thought-out, as well, from the two-car post-and-beam portico to the wrap-around porches and outdoor fireplace.
The ample 2.45 acre yard offers privacy and plenty of room to play, plus the soothing sounds of nearby Turkey Creek.
A HOUSE FULL OF HISTORY
The property that Hemlock Crossing now sits on originally belonged to the Mealer family. Robert Mealer was well-known throughout the region for the artful baskets he wove. Robert and his wife had no children, so when they passed away the property was inherited by Mr. Mealer's siblings. None of them had any interest in the property, so it was sold. Due to county codes, when the property was divided, the county required that the Mealer home and barn be removed due to their proximity to the road.
Hating to see a piece of Gilmer County history vanish without a trace, the developer and builder of Hemlock Crossing, Deborah Jones, made the decision to retain as much of the history of the old Mealer homestead as possible. She used the oak walls of the old barn on the floors and the fireplace mantel in the construction of this home. The wood on the walls in the hall, stairway and half-bath come from the interior of the Mealer home and the upper stairs and handrail are made from pine boards that were part of the exterior walls of the Mealer home.
