This striking one-level (with bonus upstairs) home spans approximately 2,797 sq ft on the main floor and features an optional bonus suite above the garage.
With an angled two-car garage, soaring timber trusses, and a vaulted “lodge room” that connects to a covered porch and sun deck, this design blends rustic charm with practical modern flow.
Exterior & First Impressions
The façade is rich in character: steep gabled peaks, board-and-batten mixed with stone or brick accents, and exposed timber trusses at the entry.
The angled garage gives visual interest and helps soften the car-entrance impact. The front entry sets the tone with its vaulted foyer and strong lodge-style cues.
Vaulted Lodge Room & Living Space
Step inside and you’ll enter a dramatic lodge room—vaulted ceiling, big windows behind the fireplace, doors to the back covered porch. The design draws your eye upward and outward.
The dining room sits nearby under a vault as well, giving the central zone that airy yet grounded feeling.
Kitchen, Keeping Room & Flow
The kitchen, breakfast area, and keeping room sit centrally, making the heart of the home very liveable.
Nearby are mudroom and laundry zones near the garage entry—smart for everyday transitions.
From there you can head out onto the sun deck or covered porch, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
Master Suite Wing
The master suite enjoys its own wing for privacy, including a tray ceiling, direct views to the rear of the home, a spa-styled bath with dual walk-in closets, two-person shower and tub. It feels like a retreat. 5
Bonus & Future Expansion
Above the garage you’ll find stairs leading up to a bonus suite—a bedroom with loft or workspace attached.
This provides flexibility for growth: guest space, hobby area, or perhaps a home office.
The foundation also supports the potential to finish a lower level (depending on lot slope) which further bumps out the effective square footage.
