(742)  JUST REDUCED TO $1,800,000!  Exclusive Timber Peg® home on private shore front peninsula has eco-friendly features.  

 

New England pine timbers are showcased on the interior of this home so that the beauty and solidarity of the wood can be experienced.  Contrasting and accentuating the warm, golden wood tones are the cool colors and rustic textures of the granite boulders in the fireplace.  Reaching from floor to ceiling, the fireplace is center stage and can be viewed from almost every room in the home. The hearth was crafted from flat rock found on the property. Opposite the fireplace is a wall of cascading windows that connect you to the land, to the water, and to the sky. Skylights,  and the expansive windows, let the light, sights, and sounds of the woodland and shore surround you.  See the sun glittering on the water during the day and at night, watch the moon glistening over the surface of the harbor.

 

 The home has an open layout that encourages interaction but there are also areas for quiet contemplation.  The formal entry opens to the vaulted ceiling of the main living area and breath-taking views.  Built-in book shelves along one side of the living area provide space for storage and display. The open dining area and kitchen face the window views.  Doors conveniently exit from the kitchen and the dining and living area to a stone patio that extends along the front of the home around to the side.  The spacious patio invites you to follow paths that lead to the water’s edge in the picturesque bay of Detroit Harbor and to the views toward the East Channel. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and a custom tiled island with stools for informal dining. There is an extra sink,  cabinet storage, counter space and washer/dryer off  the kitchen but outside of the view of guests. The Master bedroom is in the south west corner of the home and has multiple windows that frame the outdoor scenes. A large walk-in closet features an armoire, a closet for extra storage, and a separate  area for hanging clothes. The Master bath has a shower and a whirlpool tub. The detailing of the tile and the floor gives beautiful color and dimension. Outside of the bath near the walk-in closet is a vanity. Also on the main level is a guest half bath.  

The second level window views elevate the outdoor vistas, taking you toward the tree tops. The stone fireplace rises amidst the rich wood timbers that angle and reach to the peak of the ceiling overhead.  There are two bedrooms, opposite each other, on this floor, and a bath. The upper level overlooks  and connects  with the main level living area.   Two multipurpose open spaces can be utilized for office, rec room, library, or studio. Two bonus storage areas can be reached by ladders from the open rooms.  

A covered and welcoming main entry for guests also provides easy access from the attached garage. The garage includes a separate work shop with stove, a half bath, plus a spacious room on the upper level.  A detached garage features a garden room with multiple southern facing windows.  A small dock at the shore of a protected bay of Detroit Harbor connects with the wildlife of the harbor. See eagles soar, hear shore birds calling, feel the cooling breeze off the water. Walk the paths that meander through the woodland and, while the water levels are low, you can walk over and explore your own little “island”.
