The approach to this stunning custom home is on a level street. The driveway has room for 5 vehicles and the over sized 2 car garage features custom cabinets that have perfect space for all your tools and toys.
As you enter through the 8 foot front door, the house and great room spreads out before you. Light flows in from the many windows and sky lights. The custom slate floor and gas fireplace capture the rugged yet peaceful ambiance of this custom mountain home where you can enjoy living in your own forest environment.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream, large and open, the bay window looks onto the babbling brook and most mornings the chickadees bathe as you prepare your coffee or tea by using the “hot shot” by in sink-erator with hot water on demand. The cornerstone of the kitchen is a Professional model 48 inch Jenn Air gas stove with six burners, a griddle and 2 ovens, a workhorse for the most discerning of chefs. A Jenn Air french door refrigerator and a quiet Jenn Air dishwasher, all stainless steel, give the kitchen a clean and classy look. There are also plenty of custom alder cabinets, both uppers and lowers to hold all the tools, pots and pans you will need to cook in this wonderful space. The dark green granite counters augment the bright kitchen space.
If entertaining is your thing, your guests can sit and converse with you on the 8 barstools, cooking and socializing have never been so delightful. In the summer months, step through the sliding glass door and enjoy your meal outside on the large back deck overlooking your 2 acres of private forest. The dining room is also the perfect gathering spot for a sit down dinner for 10 or an intimate evening for two. A walk-in pantry compliments the dining room/ kitchen partnership. Also on the main floor is an office/ bedroom off the kitchen, a half bath with pedestal sink, a laundry room with custom cabinets and a dog washing tub that your furry friends will love.
The slate steps take you to the upper floor where you can enjoy the fireplace and look down onto the main floor and surrounding landscape. The tempered glass panels and custom railings make the loft an open and dreamy space where you can relax. As you walk across an open office area to the back slider and deck you can’t help but appreciate the forest around you. This area could easily be walled off to create another bedroom if desired.
The over sized master bedroom is also on this top level and features it’s own gas fireplace, walk in closet with custom drawers and shelving and another alcove closet which adds more storage. The master bath includes a large open shower, double bowl sinks, granite counter tops, custom cabinets and a two person jacuzzi tub. A true retreat at the end of the day.
The lower floor is accessed by a central slate staircase and/ or keyless entry door from under the back deck. This level is large and private and has been used as a successful Airbnb rental. This floor boasts two bedrooms, a full bath, a work out room and an 800 bottle wine cellar. This bottom level has it’s own heater and thermostat control. Also on this lower level is approximately 1700 feet of both finished and unfinished storage.
Other features of this home include a water heater with a re-circulating system so that there is hot water at all sinks, showers, etc., CAT5 wiring, an intercom system, central vacuum system, Hunter Douglas fans with remotes, outside electrical outlets on decks and automatic heat tape.
As for the exterior, in the summer there is nothing more relaxing than taking your cup of coffee out through the 8 foot French doors onto the deck where you can listen to your own waterfall and creek. In the evening you can gather around the fire pit or pond and enjoy the fresh mountain air. The beauty of the water features are all the more captivating in the privacy of this spectacular 2 acre setting that is surrounded by conservancy and forest land.
