GORGEOUS CUSTOM HOME IN A GARDEN OF EDEN SETTING! This lovely home, completed in 2004, was custom built for the current owners. During construction of this property, much consideration was given to the materials and design, resulting in a low-maintenance, easy care and energy efficient home. For example, the home is heated with electric forced air and heat pump system. The siding is a high-quality product called “Crane Board,” an insulated vinyl siding product which has a lifetime guarantee never to need paint or repairs. And apart from the additional R-factor that the insulation material provides, it also adds the body and structure that most conventional vinyl siding products lack. All of the tile in the home is set with epoxy grout to prevent cracking and staining. In addition to the many sunny windows, there are also a series of skylights and solar tubes to provide plenty of light to the interior.
You approach the home down a paved easement road off Old Olympic Highway, just a short distance north of the city of Sequim. The home is located at the end of the cul-de-sac, where a gravel drive leads you to either the shop building at the end of the property or the garage apron of the home. A wide, winding concrete walk brings you around the front of the house to the beautiful front door, protected from the weather by a covered porch with barrel-vaulted, pine soffitt. You’ll enter the home into the main, open-plan living space. Underfoot is a tile floor which runs through the dining area to your right and ahead to the kitchen. The living space, to your left is carpeted. This greatroom space is vaulted throughout and features two skylights in the living room and two skylights in the kitchen. In the living room, large windows overlook the front garden on the west side of the home. A propane, freestanding fireplace stands on a tiled hearth at one end of the room. The dining area features a sliding glass door to an exterior patio. Arched openings from both the kitchen and dining rooms lead into the “media room” which is separated from the living room by an angled wall. The media room is also carpeted and is wired for surround sound. Both the sliding glass door in the dining room and the large south-facing window in the media room have arched “eyebrow” windows, further expanding the arch theme in this portion of the home. The well-designed kitchen is centered around a very large window looking across the vista of the backyard garden. There plenty of maple, raised-panel cabinets with pull-out shelving, appliance garages, lazy susans and other upgrades along with an abundance of tile-topped counters. A bar-height peninsula separates the kitchen from the direct view of the living area. Appliances include a side-by side refrigerator, stainless steel dishwasher, range/oven and built-in microwave. A door leads from the kitchen out to the backyard patio, a perfect spot for an afternoon barbeque.
Down the hall past the living room are the more private areas of the home. A tiled foyer, lit by a solor tube and with a large closet, provides a traffic hub leading to the bedrooms, den and utility room. The den enjoys a quiet space on the west-facing side of the home. It has a little alcove just off the entry, a vaulted ceiling and attractive hardwood floors. The guest bedroom is adjacent, and is carpeted. This room also features a vaulted ceiling with a lovely pendant light fixture and closet with bi-fold doors. The guest bath is a full bath with soaking tub/shower combination featuring a gorgeous tile surround, matched to the vanity cabinet. A solar-tube provides additional light in this interior space. The utility room leads through to the garage and is filled with plenty of cabinets, both upper and lower. The master suite is located down a short hallway from the foyer (which houses another large closet). The carpeted master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a French door leading out to the backyard patio. The master bath features in-floor heating under the tile floor, a shower with glass door, large tiled vanity with dual basins, linen closet and exterior window. A HUGE walk-in closet has a custom interior with both shelf and rod space. The attached garage is fully finished and insulated and has two overhead car doors with electric openers, plus a man door to the exterior.
In the northeast portion of the property, a 1440 square foot shop building compliments the other structures on the property with identical siding and roofing materials. It is fully insulated and heated, sheetrocked and finished and currently houses an extensive woodworking shop – but could serve a variety of other uses. The building is served by a separate 200 amp, 220 volt panel. It has two overhead, roll-up doors, one man door and a set of French doors. The equipment and dust collection systems are not included, but possibly negotiable, should a buyer be interested. Other outbuildings include a pair of metal storage sheds, placed discreetly out of sight behind the shop building and a functional greenhouse with water and electrical service installed. A “berry cage” contains producing blueberries and raspberries.
The description of the garden and landscaping could take up many additional pages, so we’ve decided to let the photos do most of the talking. You can view the photo gallery by clicking the link at the bottom of the page. Briefly…the 1.29 acres has been completely landscaped. It features green lawns, mature and producing fruit trees, perennial flowers and grasses, shrubs and ornamental trees. Gravel walk-ways traverse the various planting beds, which also include a raised-bed vegetable garden area, rose garden and shrubberies. The entire property is served by three, automatic underground sprinkling systems, which are supplemented by freestanding hydrants at various locations around the property.
Special note: The owner is offering generous owner terms with $100,000 down for as long as 15 years, subject to satisfactory borrower credit history. Other finance terms are negotiable. This is really a stunning home and photos simply do not do it justice. Please call us right away to view this lovely property!
