Unrivaled in its distinctive architecture and thoughtful blend of rustic and modern overtones, this custom-built home offers the very best in sophisticated mountain living. Offering filtered views of Echo Summit and the Angora Ridgeline, this substantial county parcel is just a short stroll to the National Forest where recreational outlets flourish. A classic covered front porch graciously rolls into the spacious, 2-story stone entry with Alder banister, offering passage to either level. Upstairs living presents an open floor plan with soaring cathedral ceilings that extend from the great room's massive ledge stone fireplace through to the well-appointed gourmet kitchen. Hand-scraped Acacia hardwood floors and neutral paint tones add warmth and inviting rustic character to the space. The kitchen enjoys tumbled travertine floors, a large central island with elevated bar top, Knotty Alder cabinetry and high-end appliances. Sharing the upper floor is an expansive primary suite, complete with bay window, stone fireplace, walk-in closet, and an extravagant bath. The lower-level centers around a generous family room, with plenty of room for gaming options and a 3rd gas fireplace. This level finishes off with 3 tastefully furnished bedrooms, 2 full baths and a mud/laundry room off the 3-car garage. A considerable, upper-level redwood deck tenders a staircase down to the backyard that is fully fenced and comes with a new, 7-man hot tub.
