Description

Reminiscent of a ski chalet overlaid with a hint of modern industrialism, this post and beam contemporary cape offers something for everyone. The foyer leads to a glass walled and cathedral ceilinged open floor plan for living, dining and kitchen spaces which are complemented by a separate, intimate family room, with its own full bath, well configured for media entertainment, video gaming, or a library. The large first floor master suite is accented by a fireplace, huge walk-in closet, its own study,...Reminiscent of a ski chalet overlaid with a hint of modern industrialism, this post and beam contemporary cape offers something for everyone. The foyer leads to a glass walled and cathedral ceilinged open floor plan for living, dining and kitchen spaces which are complemented by a separate, intimate family room, with its own full bath, well configured for media entertainment, video gaming, or a library. The large first floor master suite is accented by a fireplace, huge walk-in closet, its own study, and sliders off the bath leading to the deck and hot tub. Two bright upstairs bedrooms share a bath, with another ensuite skylit bedroom off the whimsical tower staircase leading to the loft overlooking the open areas on the first floor. Spanning the back of the house, the deck overlooks the heated in-ground swimming pool and gazebo. Easily accessed from the front door of the house, the upper floor of the garage has been fully finished with its own heating and cooling system. Boasting both north facing skylights and large fixed circular windows, this additional approx 500 sq ft would make wonderful in-home office, studio, yoga, workshop or recreation space. Clever siting of the house on high ground, and further enhanced by professional landscaping and buffering by the Black Hall River estuary, privacy of home, hot tub and pool enjoyment is assured. Creative design, streaming light, versatile spaces, beautiful grounds -- it's all here.
