Description

Step through the edge-grain fir door into a Custom Designed 2-bed/2-bath Modern home where comfort meets low-maintenance living. Fully engineered and masonry-built, the home is designed for durability and efficiency with a metal roof, vaulted ceilings, insualted masonry with 16'' thick walls, striking wood beams, and in-floor heated concrete throughout. A heat pump maintains year-round comfort, while multiple patio doors extend the open living/dining/kitchen outdoors. A central, custom-built fireplace in the open style living area adds cozy ambience in the cooler months. The cook’s kitchen offers custom birch cabinetry, poured-concrete counters, a propane range, and a walk-in pantry for extra storage. The split-bedroom plan places the two bedrooms on opposite sides of the great room for privacy. The spacious primary suite has deck access, a walk-in closet, and a serene ensuite with a soaker tub and heated towel rack. The second bedroom enjoys its own covered deck—perfect for morning coffee or a quiet read. Thoughtful custom built-ins provide a nice aesthetic and additional storage. Water is supplied by a private well and treated with a filtration system. An additional ~450 sq. ft. detached garage awaits finishing—ideal for a workshop, studio, or gear storage. Sited for privacy with a classic West Coast setting, this is move-in-ready island living. Interested in the features of a Masonry Built home ? ask us to send you the list! (id:63159)
