The plan was inspired by a picture of a house in a Sunset magazine. Warm, time-mellowed yellow Alaskan cedar is used throughout the house. With its French doors and surrounding decks, the great room seems to float on a platform. The kitchen, with a solid granite countertop, is defined by the hand-tinted Mexican terra cotta tile on the floor, and runs the length of the east wall. At the end of the kitchen, a shipshape pantry with utility room at the end of the kitchen holds the washer and dryer.
Clerestory windows run the length of the house, providing lots of light in the great room.
The beamed ceiling is at least 20 feet high. A massive brick fireplace and lofts at both ends of the house give the place a lodge-like feel. And he dreams in style. A large second-floor patio overlooks a marina, and the home has three bedrooms and three full baths. The dramatic two-story waterfall greets visitors, and the indoor hot tub is behind sliding windows that offer a waterfall view.
