Property Description

This Architecturally Significant NW Retreat Is One Of A Kind! Designed by architect and educator Stephen Carkeek, this remarkable custom two-story residence reflects a thoughtful interpretation of organic architecture and the enduring principles championed by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Conceived as an extension of its natural surroundings, the home’s contemporary design embraces harmony between structure and landscape, creating an ideal setting that elevates its environment rather than competes with it. More than just a house, this is a legacy property! Strong horizontal lines, carefully framed views, and natural materials create a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home of uncommon character. Set amidst a secluded lifescape at the end of a long, private driveway, you’ll find mature landscaping, fruit trees, tranquil water features, a miniature barn, designer chicken coop, a green-house and planter boxes – ideal for a turn-key gardening and mini-farm experience. Access to a walking path around a private pond provides charming ducks and wildlife. Curated for modern living, this home offers features to inspire relaxation and spaces that beckon memorable gatherings. The living room with vaulted ceiling is highlighted by vistas of the outdoor landscape, opens to an expansive deck, and comes with a wood-burning stove. The adjoining chef’s kitchen opens out to the living room and dining area. We have more to share - a must-see-in-person experience! -- hurry!
