Exterior: Contemporary Craftsman overlooking River Forest Creek. Features new, professional landscaping in Northwest natives, fruit trees and raised beds. Stone stairs lead down from the terrace to a causal seating area anchored by a 6' fire pit beside the native basalt waterfall cascading into a 6' x 8' pond with native water plants and stocked with gambusia fish. Approach the front porch on the flagstone path, through native grasses and wildflowers surrounded by a split rail fence. Behind the attached, two-car garage is a separate storage area and tool shed, and a path leading to a beautiful meditation garden, and on down to a grassy, streamside picnic area under huge firs. Interior: You are welcomed into the vaulted, beamed great room dominated by the slate fireplace surrounded with cherry builtins. Entertain dinner guests in the formal dining room, or casually around the granite island in the all-stainless, chef's kitchen. You'll enjoy using the new, 5-burner, DCS commercial range! Gleaming, Brazilian hardwood floors lead you down a window-lined corridor, first passing a library/bedroom with twin Murphy beds and built-in bookcases. The next bedroom features a newly-remodeled travertine bath with accessible shower and barn door-style glass shower door. At the end of the hallway you enter the expansive master suite, including it's bookcase-lined sitting room with French door to a private terrace. The travertine-tiled master bath features a deep, jetted tub with hand-held shower, separate shower stall and generous, double vanity. Enter the completely fitted, walk-in closet with dressing area, floor-to-ceiling shoe racks, built-in hampers and ironing center.
