The Northville Lodge combines an eclectic mix of white cedar logs, timbers & shingles plus stone & brick to create a very popular style today known as 'hybrid'. This home has many unique features including what we believe is a surprise ending.........
Beyond the lush landscaping you're greeted with a myriad of log gable trusses, a wall of stone and a signature radial bay. This home is just over 5,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths on two levels.
Beautiful landscaping in the rear of the home boasts serious outdoor living features, including a marvelous rocky waterfall. The slate patio houses a dining set under the white cedar log pergola on one side, a family room style fire pit gathering area in the center and an intimate café setting closer to the water. Notice how the design of the home has large windows along the entire back so those inside can take in all that the back yard has to offer.
The open Kitchen / Great Room mixes traditional cabinetry and furniture with dramatic ceilings feature hand hewn rafters and trusses atop white cedar paneling. Rustic details like the stone covered vent mimic the stone of the waterfall seen out the large expanse of windows.
The large great room wall is finished with our hand hewn lodge log. The sweeping spiral staircase with white cedar paneling and rought iron spindles won First Place in the 2008 Log Home Design Awards for 'Best Staircase'.
The Master bedroom has a hotel spa ambiance with lush fabrics and a surprise dash of cedar in the signature radial bay sitting area, while one of three guest bedrooms upstairs also has hotel-like features, it maintains the more rustic look.
We just couldn't resist showing you just a peek of the finished lower level. This shot shows the family room, bar area. What you don't see is the large media room, then there's the pool table room and the gift wrapping room!
HERE'S THE SURPRISE: This lushly landscaped, rustic hybrid log home is not located where you'd think....it's in the midst of a typical (yet upscale) suburban sub-division where every other home is.... ALL BRICK!!
