Refined Rural Modernism
H ere’s a brilliant example of the clean modern aesthetic so in vogue right now which seems perfectly at home in a private, rural 6+ acre setting with soothing views of nature’s handiwork everywhere you look whether inside or out. This refined rural modernism is the signature of architect Marica McKeel, and this offering, dubbed “Chalet Perche”, proudly takes its place among “Creek House”, “Lantern House”, and “Tinder Box” in an enclave of quality custom built homes.
Exceptional construction grade and obsessive attention to detail are evident throughout the loft like interior with its sweeping open floor plan so perfect for casual living and easy entertaining. The deliberate placement of windows and expansive glass walls ensure wherever you are in the house and whatever corner you turn; expansive views of surrounding nature are straight ahead. There are no dead-ends here! The main living space with its soaring wood cathedral ceiling seamlessly incorporates a finely appointed gourmet kitchen with eating bar, a dining area and living room with a sleek wood burning stove to chase winter’s chill. The warm wood floors catch the abundant natural light reflected off the crisp white walls and extend throughout the entire house.
Guests are very comfortably accommodated in a main level bedroom and full bath. The extensive multi-room Master Suite upstairs is a true oasis including the clean lines of the spa-like bath with double sinks and a glass walled shower. There’s even a built-in desk for the ease of working from home. Additionally, there’s another room with built-in seating and desk for a more formal office, nursery or overflow guest space.
A handy mud room features a beautiful polished concrete floor and the landscape architect owner has designed the new plantings, offset by dry laid stone walls, to enhance the existing beauty of the surrounding meadow and established woodlands. A rear deck provides the perfect spot from which to survey your domain. Built in 2018, this unique residence is truly turn-key ready.
