This unique home is a great example of John Boardman's custom architectural design. The cedar exterior blends well with the surrounding 3.79 acres of mature trees. The large entrance foyer welcomes guests into a spacious living room opposite an elegant formal dining room. The heart of the home is the custom kitchen, breakfast room, and den. Large windows overlooking the rear deck maximize the natural light and beautiful view of the wooded landscape. The special vaulted ceiling, and unique wood-burning fireplace make it a truly special place that feels like your own cozy retreat. The wood floors are red oak with walnut pegs and light oak stain by Stan Seabaugh. The main floor features the primary bedroom and bath, with a ½ bath and laundry room at the opposite end of the hall. Amazing storage space is on every level. The back staircase leads to 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a smaller bonus room, and a special library/study that offers a stunning view of the main level fireplace and den. The walk-out basement has a living area with fireplace, a wall of windows, and a door to the side yard. The kitchen area has a cooktop, a sink, and room for a frig- plus a LOT of cabinets. This versatile space leads to a stubbed-in bath area, and the huge unfinished section for more storage. You will love feeling a closer connection to nature. The owner has always said, "I love my trees!" Take a private tour and envision creating your next home at 1601 Bertling St.
