Stepping into this home feels like entering a mountain retreat, but with all the modern comforts you’d expect from a custom build.

The design immediately draws your eye, thanks to contemporary lines, vast windows, and outdoor spaces made for enjoying panoramic views.

Inside, the layout stretches across two levels, each one carefully arranged for both privacy and togetherness.

Join me as we walk through every corner of this impressive home and see how the details come together.

The Floor Plans:

Entry

As you walk up to the sheltered front porch, you’ll arrive at a wide, welcoming entry.

This area doesn’t just guide you inside—it sets the mood, with natural light pouring through the glass.

The foyer feels open, letting you catch your breath and take in the views before choosing your next direction.

There’s a coat closet nearby, so guests can easily store jackets and muddy shoes.

Den / Guest Bedroom

Off to one side, you’ll find a room that works as either a guest bedroom or a den.

Thanks to its own closet and direct access to a full bathroom just outside, it’s great for overnight visitors, a home office, or a quiet reading spot.

If you have family visiting often, this space gives them privacy without feeling cut off from the action.

Bath 2 and Powder Room

Two bathrooms are conveniently placed near the front: a full bath by the den/guest bedroom for longer stays, and a separate powder room set off the gallery for quick stops.

I think this arrangement is smart. Guests won’t have to wander far, and the main living area stays free of extra foot traffic.

Mud Room

Heading toward the garage, you’ll move through a mud room that’s spacious but not overwhelming.

Hooks, cubbies, and benches offer the perfect place for dropping bags or kicking off boots after a hike.

There’s a second laundry room entrance here too, which I feel is a real bonus.

Messes never have to travel through the heart of the home.

Laundry

Right next to the mud room, the main laundry room has plenty of space for sorting and folding.

Its close location to the garage means laundry day doesn’t spill into your living areas.

If you’ve got an active household, you’ll love having this setup.

Four-Car Garage

The main level four-car garage is both wide and deep. If you have multiple cars, a boat, or lots of gear, there’s room for it all.

You can enter the mudroom directly from here, keeping dirt contained and the interior tidy.

Gallery

Once you pass the foyer, you’ll enter a central gallery. This hallway connects the main rooms and gives the house a natural flow.

I can picture art or photos looking fantastic here, with windows pulling in light from both sides.

The gallery also gives you an early view of the great room’s soaring ceilings.

Great Room

Step into the great room and you’re surrounded by sunlight and sweeping views. Floor-to-ceiling windows line the back wall, framing the outdoors and making the whole space feel bright.

I love the openness of this room. It’s perfect for gatherings or just relaxing after a long day.

The fireplace acts as the room’s anchor, and you can arrange furniture to create either cozy corners or a big entertaining space.

Covered Outdoor Living

Just beyond the great room is a huge covered outdoor living area. Glass railings and beams help this space blend with the indoors.

There’s room for a dining table and outdoor couches, making it ideal for relaxed evenings or lively celebrations.

It really takes advantage of the hillside setting, and the covered design means you can use it in any season.

Sun Deck

Set to one side, the sun deck is perfect if you want to soak up the sun or grow some plants.

This area gets lots of light and is a favorite for anyone who enjoys unwinding with a book or working on their tan.

You’re close to the main action, but it feels like your own private hideaway.

Patio and Side Entry

At the opposite end, there’s a ground-level patio and a side entry. For families with kids or dogs, I think this works really well.

You get a direct route into the mudroom and laundry, so muddy adventures stay out of the main living areas.

The patio itself is shaded and private—just right for small gatherings or a quiet dinner as the day winds down.

Dining

Back inside, the dining area connects visually to both the great room and kitchen while still feeling like its own spot.

There’s space for a long table, and with a wall of windows, every meal is set against a beautiful backdrop.

It’s easy to picture holiday dinners or weekend brunches here, where everyone stays connected but never cramped.

Covered Outdoor Dining

Right off the dining room, you’ll find a covered outdoor dining space. This spot is perfect for alfresco meals, protected from sun and rain.

Being close to the kitchen is a real plus—serving and cleanup are quick and easy.

I see this as a natural extension of the indoor dining area.

Kitchen

The kitchen is open and linear, centered around an oversized island. There’s seating for casual breakfasts and plenty of prep space for cooking.

Cooktop and wall ovens are placed for convenience, and you’ll stay in touch with everyone in the dining and great room.

I think the best part is how the kitchen feels both social and efficient. Nothing is hidden, and everything is easy to reach.

Pantry and Butler’s Pantry

For storage, you get both a walk-in pantry and a butler’s pantry. The walk-in is great for bulk items and gadgets you don’t use daily.

The butler’s pantry acts as a staging area for meals or a coffee bar, keeping the main kitchen clutter-free, especially during parties or holidays.

Hall and Vestibule

A hall leads into a vestibule that separates the main living areas from the master suite.

I appreciate how this setup gives the owners a real sense of privacy. Activity from the rest of the house stays out of your personal retreat.

Master Bedroom

The master suite sits in its own quiet corner. Large dimensions and big windows make this room peaceful, with light streaming in all day.

Double doors help create a true sense of escape, and the orientation means you wake up to views instead of neighbors.

Master Bath

Connected to the master bedroom, the master bath is both a sanctuary and highly functional.

There’s a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Natural light fills the room, yet you’re shielded from the outside world.

Every feature feels carefully chosen, from the layout to the finishes.

Master Walk-In Closet (WIC)

A large walk-in closet sits between the bedroom and the bath. There’s more than enough room for clothes, shoes, and accessories.

The design keeps everything organized and easy to find. If you value storage, you’ll be happy with this closet.

Stairs to Lower Level

The staircase, found near the great room and garage entry, links the main level with the lower floor. This makes it simple to move between spaces, whether for daily life or hosting guests.

Now, let’s check out the lower level, where the home really opens up your options.

Lower Landing and Games Area

At the bottom of the stairs, a flexible games area awaits. It’s a place where kids can play board games or friends can hang out without bothering the main living areas.

This relaxed zone helps keep the atmosphere light.

Rec Room

The rec room is huge and opens to a covered patio with another wall of windows.

This space is ideal for get-togethers, movie nights, or setting up a pool table. Since it’s away from the bedrooms, noise isn’t a problem.

I can easily see this becoming the main hub for family fun or weekend parties.

Lower Covered Patio

Step outside from the rec room and you’re on a covered patio that nearly runs the length of the house.

There’s plenty of space for lounging, grilling, or just enjoying the view. The covered setup means the weather won’t interrupt your plans.

You can easily move from indoor to outdoor living.

Kitchenette

Next to the rec room is a small kitchenette. Stock it with snacks and drinks, and you’ll be set for movie nights or game days.

I like that this feature keeps everyone happy, especially when you’re hosting downstairs.

Bedroom 2

Bedroom 2 sits on the lower level, well-sized with a nearby bath. Windows bring in lots of light, and its location offers privacy.

It’s perfect for older kids, guests, or a second office.

Bath 4

Adjacent to Bedroom 2, Bath 4 is a full bath with easy access for anyone using the rec room or games area. I appreciate how there’s no shortage of bathrooms on this floor, which keeps everyone comfortable.

Bunk Room

The bunk room is a dream for kids. There’s space for multiple built-in bunks or a play zone.

It’s ideal for sleepovers or big family gatherings. The walk-in closet gives you extra storage for toys, games, or seasonal gear.

Storage

Across from the bunk room, a large storage room helps keep clutter under control. Holiday decorations, sports equipment, and anything else you need can stay out of sight but within reach.

Laundry 2

A second laundry room on the lower level means you won’t have to haul baskets up and down stairs. This is especially handy for guests or teenagers handling their own laundry.

Bedroom 3

On the opposite end, Bedroom 3 is another large, bright room with a roomy closet. Its location away from the main traffic zones gives guests or family members extra quiet.

Bath 5

Bedroom 3 has a full bath just outside the door, making mornings less hectic and offering privacy away from the busy recreation spaces.

Mechanical Room

Also on this side, the mechanical room houses the home’s systems. It’s easy to reach for maintenance or for storing cleaning supplies.

Unfinished Exercise Room

If you’re into fitness, the unfinished exercise room is ready for your equipment. You can set up a gym, yoga spot, or hobby area.

There’s plenty of square footage to make it your own.

Covered Porch

At the far end of the lower level, a covered porch gives you another spot to step outside, enjoy the breeze, or start your day with coffee. It’s a quieter alternative to the big patio off the rec room, offering a peaceful escape.

Lower Garage

Don’t miss the lower garage, which matches the upstairs version in both size and function.

This is perfect if you have extra vehicles, hobbies, or need more storage. Direct stair access to the main garage makes moving items between floors simple.

That’s a look at every space and every possibility in this home. The two levels are designed to support both lively gatherings and peaceful moments.

I truly believe you’ll love relaxing on the deck, hosting friends in the rec room, or enjoying quiet time in a sunlit bedroom.

Every inch feels intentionally planned for real life—and for the kind of life you want to build.
