Description

Features

• Custom built by Patrick Wheat in 1991


• Northwest style architecture features warm wood tones, exposed beams and posts, vaulted ceilings with skylights, and a wall of windows across the front of the house to capture the gorgeous southern exposure and sparkling lake views. The efficient passive-solar design keeps utility bills low. Monthly natural gas bills average only $121, and electricity averages $123.


• The open floor plan makes this a superb home for entertaining, and the cook is always in the center of the action. The large kitchen has good sunlight and views, tremendous storage, granite tile counters, two appliance garages, garden window, natural gas cooktop plus built-in wall oven and microwave. The kitchen has an oversized island with bar, breakfast nook with built-in window seat, and a main dining area that is casual and inviting. Adjacent to the kitchen is an area of built-in desks that would be perfect for a home office or homework station. The living room features a cozy wood fireplace and window seat.


• Huge view side deck with built-in benches was built right to the edge of a beautiful pond with waterfall, mature koi and goldfish. This magical setting is like a private zen garden, and is the perfect backdrop for a relaxing soak in the hot tub. An enormous grassy yard stretches from the deck to the peaceful lower pond. The fantastic landscaping offers an unbelievable variety of trees, flowers and ornamentals, raised garden beds, vine-twisted arbors, plus apples, peaches and plum trees. Kick your feet up an enjoy a private slice of paradise.


• Main house has 4 bedrooms and a large bonus room on the upper level. The large master suite has great views, walk-in closet, and a tiled bathroom with glass block shower and jetted tub. The enclosed sun porch off the master bedroom is a great place to relax with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise. The bonus room with gas fireplace is currently decorated as a bedroom, but the surround sound wiring makes this a better space for a media / game room.


• Heating source is a combination of hydronic in-floor radiant and hot water baseboard radiators. A new natural gas boiler is scheduled to be installed soon.


• Guest house is very private and quiet, and is well separated from the main house. A 2nd kitchen, laundry and living room with gas fireplace makes this a comfortable, self-contained apartment. Buyer to verify that County codes, regulations and permitting are consistent with buyer’s intended use.


• A large portion of the acreage lies north of the house and shop, behind the tree line. Keep horses in the old stable and corral, create trails, walk the dog or just let the property go wild — it’s up to you.

• Beautiful no-bank beach is shared by six homes. Large, fenced beach area has a fixed dock plus floats that are put in for the summer, fire pit, picnic tables and a porta-potty for summertime. Each family contributes $200/yr for maintenance.


• Water source is shared well with Culligan treatment and filtration system. Shared drainfield was designed to accommodate 12 bedrooms but it only serves two homes plus the guest house.
