Wow! What A View! We say this home will 'take your breath away' as you walk through the front door, and this is the reason. You are greeted with this same view through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room. Every room in this home takes advantage of lovely views. And, all the rooms that are on the canyon side of the home have breath-taking long range views of this canyon.
This home has been carefully and thoughtfully designed and finished by its owners as a "Mountain Craftsman." You'll note many true Craftsman Era details as you wander through this one-of-a-kind home. Some of these include extensive use of wood trim and finishes; incorporation of wrought iron and stone details; built-in cabinets, light wells, and niches; window ledges and corner wrapping windows; and a single story floor plan. Oh, one other element of this Mountain Craftsman home is that its exterior does not intrude upon nature--which is why you'll note that this home's exterior blends so completely with the surrounding woods.
As you drive through the custom gates and arrive at the home, you'll see the 3-car garage with wood storage and a workshop area (one on each side). To the left of that is the single car shed, and hidden in the trees is the year-round functional green house that will be left for the new owners. The green house is already planted with thriving herbs for your kitchen, and contains its own little pond and resident bull frog.
Even before entering the home, you could walk all the way around to the back of the home on the covered wrap around porch to the spacious back deck. There, you'll get a great first look at your incredible new view! Also, you can start planning leisurely mornings on your deck, in any season, lingering to enjoy this view. Be sure not to miss the basement with workshop area and TONS of storage, the safe and clean dog run, the hand-laid rock waterfall along the side of the home, and the rock-lined pathways all around the upper part of the property.
When you do finally set foot into this home, and you've had a minute to catch your breath (again, the view will TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY!), turn back and look at this perfectly planned and exectuted entry way. The beams frame the leaded glass door and the tile and stone also bring the indoors inside with you.
All the rooms are generously sized in this home, and it can be a challenge to depict them adequately. Both of the wood burning stoves (one in the living room, and one in the master suite) are "Country" stoves--a brand well known for it's quality and efficiency.
The kitchen has everything you need, including a huge built-in refrigerator and a convection microwave. The photo does not include a bank of pantry cabinets opposite the stove.
The formal dining area is flanked on two sides by windows. There is plenty of room for gatherings here, and you can see that the dining bar and kitchen are adjacent to the dining area, too. Note the craftsman design lighting above the table. This was directly copied from a Craftsman-era home design book.
Once you see the master suite, you'll realize you'll never want to get out of bed! The second wood stove is tucked in a corner across from the bed, and once a fire is lit, it affords you a warm light through the glass door. The french door leading to the private and spacious master deck wraps around the side of the house to offer more views. Note the wrapping corner windows for light and expansive views, and the window ledges under the window, as well. Also be sure to check out the "his and hers" closets and built-in wardrobe cabinets, as well as a separate, second entry to the master bath.
The master bath offers a two-person jacuzzi tub and a separate tiled shower with glass door, and a dressing table with it's own lighting. The tub and the commode both have a view looking into the canyon through the two windows above the tub. There is ample floor space in this bathroom for two people to dress and move about.
