This sophisticated and spacious, 1980's contemporary home captures all the best architecture from its era. Experience soaring vaulted ceilings, playful split levels, a cozy sunken living room, and a zoned floor plan layout that optimizes privacy in the separated bedrooms. A dramatic cultured stone hearth with double Heatilator style fireplaces and indoor barbecue serves as a central focal point and catches the eye from different angles through the open wood railings of the mid and upper levels. The family room has a built in bar, and floor to ceiling windows facing the extensive decking and private backyard oasis with exceptional view potential of the Elk River valley to the north. The 2.5 acres is surrounded by nature and ornamental shrubs that border the front and side yard. They provide seasonal color and beauty while creating seclusion in the flat, usable yard areas that surround the home. These include an impressive assortment of mature rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and a stunning flowering cherry tree. The oversized garage is ideal for the Humboldt climate and is a hobbyist's dream. There is a built-in workbench, ample storage cabinets, a practical utility sink, and plenty of room for cars too. The newer double pane "low e" windows, and on-demand water heater provide energy efficiency. The radiant heat system was just serviced and offers dust-free and almost silent heat throughout the home. The downstairs carpets are new. Some additional maintenance, repairs, and cosmetic revamps are still needed to modernize this home and return it to it's potential grandeur. The update process could be a lot of fun and this home is definitely worth it! Estate sale may require court confirmation.
