The home

On the fairway. Out of sight. A renovated mountain home on a corner lot at Glassy, with the fairway out front and the Blue Ridge out back once the leaves fall.

Touch-me-not is the wild jewelweed of these mountain trails, a flower that scatters its seed pods at the slightest brush. It is a fitting name for one of the more private addresses on Glassy.

The house sits on a corner lot held in a ring of mature hardwoods, at the end of a short, quiet trail near the Glassy Chapel. The fairway is the view from the front porch. Walk down the steps and you are on the course. Turn around in winter, after the leaves have dropped, and the view off the back of the house opens to the ridgelines of the Blue Ridge.

At 2,730 feet in elevation, summer arrives cooler here than it does in the valley, which is the reason most people come up the mountain in the first place.

The home itself is an established mountain classic, Craftsman in stone, stucco and wood, and its owners have reworked nearly every surface of it: new kitchen, scullery, laundry and powder room, every bath renovated, new stacked stone fireplace, new and refinished floors, updated plumbing and electrical, new lighting, an encapsulated crawl space and a new radon mitigation system.

The primary suite sits on the main level at the quiet end of the house. Its bath is the room you will show people: a freestanding soaking tub beneath a picture window that looks straight out at the course, heated marble-look tile floors, and a frameless glass shower with both a rainfall head and a handheld.
