Nestled on 2.25 acres in the coveted community of Hickory Lodge, this one-of-a-kind custom contemporary home was designed to maximize natural light and wooded views. Constructed by award-winning MainBuilt and featured in several magazines, thoughtful design was intended to integrate the home’s interior and exterior spaces. Fir planks extend from interior ceilings outside to the overhangs, and Corten steel wraps are found throughout. Clerestory windows along the roof line let in light without compromising privacy, while the back of the home features a wall of windows to take advantage of the view. The main floor comprises an open kitchen with high-end appliances, living area, studio/craft/flex room with 220 outlet + exhaust, office, half bath, and walk-in pantry. A screened porch with a high ceiling becomes an extension of the home, a deck with a gas grill adds outdoor enjoyment. Just a few steps down lies the primary suite, with ample closet and storage space and a spa bath with tile shower and bubble tub. Finished, walkout lower level houses a family room with built-ins, 2 additional bedrooms, ¾ bath and gym. Enjoy low maintenance living with rock beds for run-off (eliminating the need for gutters), a standing seam metal roof to withstand the shady environment, and cedar siding for years of enjoyment. A calming pond lies just off the front deck. Efficient geo-thermal system enhances comfort. Truly a remarkable find, don’t miss your opportunity to acquire this masterpiece!
