To say the entry is dramatic is an understatement. The site slope afforded the opportunity to create a dramatic entry bridge spanning a “landscaped swale” with an artificial creek that runs between two separate waterfall features. Adjacent to one waterfall we placed a cozy, protected patio for breakfast or to get out of the afternoon sun or wind. Enjoying an evening cocktail with friends there is truly special.

The great room, dining and kitchen are all open, to allow joining in any discussions or to view the game showing on a large TV mounted above the fireplace. On the west side of the home an expansive deck area runs all along this main level. One area off the master bedroom is protected by a roof. From the great room and entry, a “floating-tread” stairway leads down to a mid-level landing. From there you can either exit through glass doors to the “landscaped swale” patio or continue down to the rec room. This Beautiful space has a great sunken walk- behind bar, with all the amenities, and a one of a kind glass-walled wine cellar. Comfy seating affords views of the Cascade Mountains or a large-screen TV mounted over a beautiful gas fireplace, set in stone. Sliding glass doors lead to a patio with a fire pit gathering area and a hot tub. Lucky overnight guests have suites on either end of this level to choose from, both with mountain views and access to the spa patio. This house is not only beautiful to look at but enjoys a grouping of spaces that just live comfortably.

Kristy Yozamp and our clients did an amazing job coming up with the right combination of tile, granite, and cabinets to create very distinct spaces.  The unique full-height back-splashes found in the Kitchen, Butler’s Pantry, Utility Room, and bar really finish those rooms off nicely. They worked closely with Bladt’s Custom Woodworking to dial in all of the cabinetry; from the layout of the master closet to the design of the hood over the range, no detail was left to chance. No two rooms are finished the same, but all of them come together to make a home that is truly better than the sum of its parts. 

Accessed by a broad stairway, the Upper Floor houses three Guest Suites with private Baths and window seats almost large enough to sleep on. On the other end of the Upper Floor, a Lanai offers a bug-free outdoor space as well as elevated views of the front of the property. Separated by the fourth full Guest Bath is a large, functional Study with beautiful built-in desks, shelves, and display spaces for art work and memorabilia.

Kristy Yozamp has maintained a strong relationship with these homeowners since the home was built years ago and continued to help them find new artwork and furniture because they had so much fun figuring out all of the interior design, furnishings, and artwork in this home. No room is without the rustic, lodge style the homeowners wanted, but none of the rooms are finished the same, which makes for rooms with very distinct character that feel like a part of the greater whole. Generous use of stone and thick, chiseled edge slabs for the counter tops added to the solid overall feel of the home. The wrought iron grillwork on the two stone fireplaces, the hand-scraped hickory floors, the bead board detailing on the walls and ceiling, and the many antler-inspired fixtures, including the moose head, really make this home feel like a comfortable cabin in the woods.
