“Create your own visual style.... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for other.”
Orson Welles
And yes,this unique home sings out style,as soon as you turn the last corner onto the Malibou Lake property. The three stories are shaped almost like the stern of a ship,with horseshoe-shaped,wraparound balconies on two of the levels. The lowest level has a myriad of possibilities,with a room on both sides of the entry. One would make a perfect wine cellar,the other a playroom,lounge area;it’s up to the creativity of the lucky owner. The second level defies the imagination. Two walls made entirely of glass look out at Sugarloaf Mountain,with the most spectacular view of any Malibou Lake estate,bar none;it will take your breath away! Dividing the windows of this living area is a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The room is begging for a telescope,the better to view the meandering trail of the lake,the hills dotted with deer. On the other side of this floor is a triangular kitchen,a beautiful shape for a serious cook,especially with its unique Gaffers & Sautier range,double ovens,and hardwood floors. A full bath,with slate shower,and laundry room complete this level.
The top floor includes two guest rooms,both overlooking the pool and mountains. The master bedroom mimics the living area,with more vast,floor-to-ceiling windows for spectacular views and a beautiful fireplace. Adjacent to the master is a large bathroom,with a jetted,soaking tub,shower,and dual sinks. The pool area is enticing for only a certain type of personality: Do you like entertaining? Do you enjoy relaxing? Do you like to have fun? If you can answer yes to all three questions,then come on over! Dive into the pool,soak in the Jacuzzi as the water cascades from the waterfall above. Invite the family for dinner at the outdoor kitchen,with grill,sink,and fridge. In the evening,roast marshmallows in one of the two fire pits,one gas,the other electric. And don’t forget to show everyone the charming A-framed guest cottage,and the pool house/storage shed. The only negative to this outdoor nirvana is that your guests may never leave! It’s time for someone to take the exceptional “bones” of this gem and make it their own,with unique,unforgettable style,and like your guests,you will also never want to leave.
