Tucked into the rolling hills of Stafford, this private retreat offers more than 3 acres of peace and serenity. High level craftsmanship throughout, including pieces created by local artisan Dan McCarl using timber harvested from the property. Beautiful woodworking, artistic doors, Marvin wood-framed windows, and custom details create a warm Northwest aesthetic. The living room features exposed beams, a wood-burning fireplace, and French doors opening to expansive decking. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen includes double JennAir ovens, gas cooktop with pot filler, prep sink, beverage refrigerator, and bar seating and opens to the family room and dining area, where sweeping valley views take center stage. A wall of folding glass doors opens wide to the deck, creating a front-row seat to changing seasons, evening sunsets, and the surrounding countryside. Upstairs, the primary suite offers its own balcony, W/I closet, and bath with soaking tub and custom glass shower doors crafted by artist Ann Cavanaugh. The library features custom shelving, a gas fireplace, and a lofted nook perched above--for work or curling up with your favorite book. Behind a hidden pivot door concealed within custom art lies a showstopping entertaining lounge with a projector, built-in bar anchored by an oversized walnut slab, and room for movie nights, game nights, or watching your favorite team on the big screen. Outdoor living blends natural beauty with a touch of yesteryear. Clear cedar decking wraps around a mature maple tree, while heated seating areas, koi pond with waterfall, and territorial views create a private oasis. The detached garage offers a heated 3 bay design, RV parking, workshop space, storage, and a finished upper-level fitness studio w/ kitchenette and full bath. Thoughtfully improved, this Stafford estate captures refined country living, where handcrafted details, gathering spaces, and a connection to the surrounding landscape create an experience unlike any other.
