Watauga Farm

3617 sq ft | 4-5 Beds | 3.5 Baths | Offices on First Floor | 3.5 Car Garage

The Watauga Farm is a spacious New American farmhouse that blends board and batten, wood, and brick for striking curb appeal. A covered front porch opens to a grand two-story foyer flanked by a formal dining room and a private office with French doors—plus a second flex room that can serve as a study, library, or additional workspace.

The large family room features a fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves and flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, which includes a large island and an oversized walk-in pantry. The mudroom entry from the 3.5-car garage offers built-in storage and direct access to a massive laundry room.

Upstairs, the primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet, double vanities, and a large tiled shower. Two Jack and Jill baths connect bedrooms 2–5. Choose between two second-floor layouts:
