Living room

Built new atop the existing foundation, this architect-designed and constructed 3,121 s.f. new house in Stratton neighborhood blends a simple and unassuming exterior with a simple and open modern interior. Characterized by clean lines, natural light, and a floor plan that combines open concept in the living area and privacy between the four bedrooms, the house provides a combination of aesthetic and functionality that is completely harmonious with the lifestyle of so many of today’s buyers. The four-bedroom, 3.5 bath home is nestled perfectly on its lot, with a deck off the main living area into the private terraced backyard, and a one-car garage. The main floor is open with a kitchen, living area, and a dining area all receiving an abundance of natural light from well-placed large windows. There are is also a half bath and a private study area to the rear of the main floor. The kitchen features top Wolf and Bosch appliances (see detailed specs below) and a beautiful blend of surfaces. The second floor features three bedrooms and two baths, including an en-suite master bath. The third floor features a fourth bedroom and bath, offering flexible use as a private separate au-pair or teen suite. The lower level is finished and connects to the garage. The exterior of the house is stain finished cedar siding that reveals the natural beauty of red cedar. Cedar siding is a durable material that is naturally resistant to rot and decay. Cedar is renewable and sourced from sustainable managed forests. Offered at $949,999.  Contact us if you have any questions or to request a private showing.
