Description

Custom Craftsman Estate -Timber-Framed Great Room | Hidden Speakeasy | Exceptional Outdoor Living -This extraordinary custom Craftsman residence was designed to be as memorable as it is livable, combining substantial architectural detailing, authentic materials and exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces. From the street, the home makes an immediate statement with its layered gables, Hardie board-and-batten siding and Hardie shake accents, Galvalume standing-seam metal roof, natural timber detailing and Andersen 400 windows.Inside, the level of craftsmanship becomes even more apparent. Ten-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, real hardwood flooring, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures, custom millwork and extensive natural wood detailing create a home that feels genuinely upgradedThe centerpiece is the breathtaking vaulted great room, where an approximately $110,000 custom real-timber package creates one of the home's defining architectural features. A series of exposed arched timber trusses rises above the living space beneath the vaulted ceiling, complemented by a timber ridge beam and elevated windows. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace anchors the room, with custom bookcases flanking the fireplace and additional built-in cabinetry along the room. The combination of stone, real timber and hardwood gives the space the character of a handcrafted lodge while maintaining the cleaner proportions and finishes of a luxury residence.
The kitchen is designed to perform at the same level as the rest of the home, with custom cabinetry, upgraded appliances and a 42-inch Viking range. Generous preparation, storage and entertaining areas connect naturally with the dining and great-room spaces, making the central portion of the home ideal for both everyday living and large gatherings.
The primary suite is a retreat unto itself. The bedroom is crowned by a dramatic tray ceiling finished in pecky cypress, bringing another layer of authentic natural material into the home. The primary bath is equally distinctive, featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling, 72-inch statement copper tub, custom shower, rain head and additional shower head, along with upgraded plumbing and lighting fixtures.
Bedrooms 2 and 3 continue the same attention to detail with full baths and custom showers. The powder room is distinguished by custom ceramic tile and upgraded fixtures. Upstairs, an enlarged fourth bedroom suite with its own full bath, closet and additional storage areas creates an excellent private guest suite or extended-stay space separated from the main bedroom wing.
One of the home's most unexpected features is a dedicated speakeasy-style entertainment room concealed behind hidden bookshelf entrances. Designed as a destination rather than simply another bonus room, the space adds an element of discovery and provides a distinctive setting for cocktails, entertaining, movies or evenings with friends.
The outdoor living spaces are every bit as intentional as the interior. The expansive covered rear porch creates a true extension of the home, incorporating separate outdoor dining and outdoor living areas, a fireplace and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with a 48-inch grill, 36-inch flat grill and refrigeration. Motorized retractable screens allow the rear porch to transform at the touch of a button from an open-air entertaining pavilion into a protected screened living environment, making the space practical through much more of the year.
Even the infrastructure reflects the level at which the home was designed, including two tankless water heaters and a 400-amp electrical service, providing substantial capacity for the residence's appliances, lighting, entertainment spaces and outdoor amenities.
The plans identify 4,144 square feet on the first floor plus a 415-square-foot FROG/upper-level area, along with a 324-square-foot front porch and 682-square-foot screened porch.
From the real timber framing, pecky cypress ceiling and copper soaking tub to the hardwood floors, Andersen 400 Series windows, Viking range, custom showers, hidden speakeasy, motorized screened porch and Galvalume standing-seam roof, virtually every major element was selected to give this home its own architectural identity.
This is not a production home with a collection of upgrades. It is a purpose-designed custom residence where the architecture itself is the upgrade - a home created around craftsmanship, natural materials, entertaining and spaces that are meant to be remembered.
