This grand-scale Craftsman chalet, originally built in 1909, shines after an award-winning renovation. Architect Douglas Ewing led the project. The restoration revitalized the house, additions, and landscaping. Now, the property reflects its historic log-clad glory. A rustic veranda and log garden pergola grace the entrance. Inside, the foyer, living room with Inglenook bench, den with fireplace, and dining room with built-in buffet retain their original details, beautifully restored. Meanwhile, the gourmet kitchen blends modern updates with the house’s vintage spirit. Additionally, a covered breakfast porch extends from the kitchen. The walk-out basement now houses a wine cellar, an office/hobby room, and a storage room. Upstairs, the master suite boasts a luxurious bath and two walk-in closets, overlooking the front and side gardens. Furthermore, three bedrooms and two baths complete the second floor. Outside, a guest house, a newer two-car garage, a pool, a spa, and lush plantings enhance the property.
