MARY JACK was designed and built by renowned interior designer John Oetgen and his husband, graphic designer John Lineweaver. Having designed multiple homes together over the years this one is their standout favorite. The stunning views of Yellow, Shortoff and Little Dog Mountains are equally matched by the show-stopping interiors and custom finishes seen throughout. Built in 2007, the home is one of only 10 houses on Kettle Rock Road, each privately tucked away here and there over the 100+ acre mountain. In the winter, MARY JACK serves as the perfect retreat for evening cocktails for 2 by the fire. And, in the summer the French doors swing wide open for a festive summer lunch for 35 friends and house guests – easily flowing from the living room onto the porch and out to the terrace surrounded in blooming rhododendrons. A fenced in, low maintenance, moss-covered yard and a rolling meadow across the gravel road add to the beauty and readily set the scene for leisurely outdoor pursuits. Being sold furnished, with a small list of exclusions. The home was named after John Oetgen's parents - a wonderful tribute to a close and loving family.
