Its most recent owner lovingly curated and improved many aspects of the home, all while keeping mindful of the home's original design and heritage. The striking home rests on a quiet cul-de-sac with just a handful of homes and is dotted with mature trees and anchored by Williams Creek flowing at the rear of the home. The home is positioned perfectly on the .70 acre parcel to allow for maximum sunlight and creekside views. Inside, you'll find a modern masterpiece marked by Cooler's mastery of seamless indoor/outdoor living, clerestory windows, and a flowing open floor plan. The main level is host to a bright family and sun room with a fireplace and wet bar, ideal for entertaining. The half bath on this level is also home to a custom sauna perfect for cold winter days. Upstairs, you'll find the main living quarters with an expansive living room flanked on the north and south sides with floor-to-ceiling windows creating an organic sensibility. The space is warmed by a dual-sided gas fireplace. The south end of the space is an idyllic dining room. The kitchen is prepped and ready to host your next event! A large primary suite is a true retreat with ensuite bath with many original elements, including a large soaking tub and access to the deck overlooking Williams Creek. The rear yard is a lovely sanctuary with tall trees and a flowing creek, and easily enjoyed via the main level open patio and upper level deck. The three-car garage has 2 heated bays with workshop perfect for your hobby of choice. A third bay allows for additional storage.
