Exterior & First Impressions
The exterior blends Craftsman and mountain/rustic details: expect staggered gables, a cupola-accented roof, and a stone-and-shake façade that gives the home substantial presence — well-suited for a hillside or natural terrain.
At the front is a welcoming covered porch (≈ 28′-6″ wide × 7′-6″ deep, 12′ ceiling), perfect for shaded seating or greeting guests. 3
A 3-car attached side-entry garage (~996 sq ft) offers ample parking and storage without compromising the home’s curb appeal.
Open Core & Everyday Flow
Inside, the main floor provides generous, flowing living spaces: a formal dining room, a breakfast nook, and a gourmet kitchen with a large island (prep sink) — ideal for cooking, family meals, or entertaining multiple guests.
A rear screened porch (cathedral ceiling ~13′-10″ with skylight + fireplace) connects to living areas — offering a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. 6
The lower (walk-out) level adds significant usable space: a recreation/rec room, guest/bonus rooms, and utility/storage/workshop areas — expanding living flexibility without increasing the main footprint.
