Design Home Mountain Chalet

Home Mountain Chalet

Stone–clad columns at the covered entry porch arch to 11' at the center. This semi–circular top is matched by decorative glass above the front doors.

The large foyer space has a ceiling set at a lofty 13' that is criss–crossed by 12"x12" beams. Beautiful wood columns and beams frame the openings to the formal dining room on the left, the great room straight ahead, and the master suite on the right.

The great room truly reminds one of a Swiss ski chalet, but as you'll see from the photos, this house looks out to a golf course. The ceiling rises from 13' at the edges to a soaring 20' in the middle, with four exposed trusses spaced 6' apart.

Your view is drawn through the room to three enormous picture windows topped by smaller windows that rise all the way to the ceiling. They look out to a 16'–deep covered deck and the view beyond. Glazed doors at both far corners of the room open to the large open deck areas that flank the covered portion in the middle. A fireplace on the right faces both the great room and the open kitchen.

The stairs to the lower level bring you to a large open recreation area. It includes a wet bar, a fireplace, and a wall of windows that look out to a rear patio and the view. Also on this level is a large office (a portion of which has a 180–degree view to the rear); a sewing/craft room with plenty of natural light, a built–in desk, and a sink (or you can use this space as a bedroom); a guest suite with a full bath that it shares with an exercise room; a store room for hunting and fishing gear; a vault space; a mechanical room; and plenty of unfinished storage space. Another set of stairs leads to the garages on the main level.
