A ‘modernist masterpiece’ in NC makes Zillow Gone Wild. Take a look inside
You don’t often see anything but retro, rustic designs in mountain homes, but one multi-million dollar house on the market is getting a lot of buzz online for being a “modernist masterpiece.”
A Highlands home perched atop Satulah Mountain with abstract architecture and contemporary custom rooms made it on Zillow Gone Wild’s Instagram page.
The Western North Carolina home, located at 220 Worley Rd., sits on 1.52 acres in Macon County. Most notably, it’s also one of the many designs by architect Jim Fox built 40 years ago.
“One of Fox’s most striking installations, built in 1985 & featured in several magazines, including ‘Fine Homebuilding,’” the Zillow listing says. “The structural concept is based on 4 intersecting planes offering unique angles & glass throughout with all rooms designed for maximum vantage points.”
The modern mountain home, surrounded by several skylight and floor-to-ceiling windows, has four bedrooms and five bathrooms — along with special features on all three floors, including:
Custom kitchen with high-end appliances
Living room with stacked stone fireplace
Private loft office
Heated bathroom floors
Lounge with a fireplace and dry bar
Private deck with a 1,000 square foot terrace
According to housing market data from Zillow, the average home value in this area (zip code 28741) is $964,148.
In comparison, the Zestimate home market value for this Highlands home — selling for just under $3 million — is $2,860,800, according to its listing.
