You'll also see the Guest House at the end of the driveway with panoramic Pella windows, wood siding, and 1 car garage. Entering through the front door, you'll take in the ceilings with exposed beams, the beautiful hardwoods, and the wainscoting that the Family Room displays. Passing through the broad entry into the Eat-in Kitchen, the cathedral ceilings with skylights and the Andersen windows let in abundant natural light. The large center Island has a granite top and the surrounding countertops are complete with Corian. There is a 5-burner Viking gas range, Subzero refrigerator, double wall oven, and custom wood cabinetry. The Dining room is stunning with wide-plank hardwoods, deep curved window sills, and a wide entry with pocket doors that leads into the Formal Living Room. The Living Room also has wide-planked hardwoods and a wood-burning fireplace and provides access to the second floor.

On the third floor you'll find a bonus room for office space or play, two large bedrooms with exposed beams and wide-plank hardwoods, and a full bath. The Guest House was constructed as a luxury office space with two finished floors and a full bath. The first floor has Brazilian mahogany floors and Douglas fir plank walls and finished and natural cherry accents give the space an irresistible feeling of warmth. The second floor has Douglas fir floors and has incredible views of the creek and pond. This piece of history is move-in ready! 1 Year Home Warranty Included.

Residential District
It is the intent of this district to provide for continued low density, single-family residential development compatible with established use patterns and appropriate because of the relative remoteness from major commercial areas and transportation routes. Clustering development provisions provide flexible development options where special consideration is given to preservation of slopes, woodland and open space and where public water and centralized sewer facilities are provided. The district is designed to protect existing patterns of development and to encourage the compatible development of vacant land for similar types of development. It is intended that the development will occur where it will minimize impact on the natural environment and promote the preservation of natural features.
