Welcome to Alinear, a modern dream home. This home has everything you need and nothing you don't. The owners designed this spacious open home with a purposefully small footprint. Showcasing the mountain view with myriad windows, the design relies on intersecting "A" frame roof lines, taking inspiration from architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi's Mountain Refuge Home. The design goal was a mix of an Alpine refuge with a Scandinavian interior, thus the birch walls and minimalist furnishings. Simple and beautiful. Enjoy fabulous views of Bartram Ridge rockface and Tessentee Valley. Walk out the door for hikes, or take a quick drive in your fully charged EV to zip lines, tubing, roller coaster rides, golf, or into town. Furnished with exceptions of artwork, books, and personal items.
