Here is a home that capitalizes CUSTOM; from materials and design to layout and function. Nested in the tall pines and birch of the Chocolay watershed, you won't find another home to match these 3 bedrooms/3 baths for efficiency and aesthetic. Designed by the owner, an architect, the attention to detail is obvious from the moment you arrive. The practical north country airlock entry steps down into the open Kitchen/Living/Dining. The space, made cozy by a woodstove, is perfect for gathering the gang. The kitchen with custom cabinetry and long runs of counter makes food fests a cinch. The floors of end grain Douglas Fir pair with the laminated pine beams in the soaring ceiling overhead, together they lead your eye to the balcony of the second floor family room where you'll also find 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and a 12x13 storage area. Below the second story, on the main floor, is a 12x12 laundry/sewing room with utility sink, powder room, and a master suite complete with hand-picked stone wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with soaking tub, shower, and a year round window garden to keep colorful blossoms growing through the darkest winter days. And when it comes to winter, this home was built for the whatever the season brings. First off, you never have to shovel the roof; part is metal and the other is earth-sheltered. You'll be even more impressed by the utility bills. Annual heating cost for the 2686 square feet is less than $800. And when it comes to those sweltering summer days, you would think this home had central air conditioning by how comfortably cool it stays. The attached two car garage has an 11x25 loft for storage, and workbench space too. A wall of windows face the private back deck and yard where you can watch turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and deer. And when day is done, there's always a campfire to share stories and plan for the next day's adventures. You'll never find a better base camp.
