Country Craftsman Construction has built a wonderful cedar and stone home in Norfork. This 2,400 square foot, walk-out basement home overlooks the Norfork River teeming with trout for the avid fly-fisherman. This site was meticulously inspected to determine the best setting for this style home in its natural surroundings. We take into account the customer's desires and wishes as well as the aesthetics of the property. This home is strategically placed utilizing the existing trees to surround the home for privacy and shade while capitalizing on the sloping lot for the walk-out basement plan. Of course when the home owners are inside this home, their view is the glory of nature through the 10 huge windows on the river-side.
Inside features African Slate Laufen ceramic tile floors, white oak floors and vaulted cedar ceilings, all of which capture the feeling of comfort and happiness living in a quality built Country Craftsman home. Expert craftsmanship is evident throughout this home from the detailed trim and finish work to the extra detailing on the hand-stuccoed wall texture.
Inside the basement wall of the home lies the revolutionary Blue Maxx concrete foundation system which provides a sturdy foundation and R25 insulation value without the need to fir and insulate the walls as in traditional stick-built homes.
The owners will enjoy a warm fire in their Dutch West freestanding wood stove in the great room on chilly nights but may also relish the cool breeze off the river on hot summer nights. The outdoor rock ledge, patios and decks and intriguing spiral staircase are inviting features to take advantage of outdoor living.
The Shiloh cabinets throughout the home are made of hickory. The kitchen counter-tops are cultured marble. The refrigerator is Amana with the latest stainless steel finish, the stove is a Jenn-Air down-draft and garden window surrounds the kitchen sink. The Caradco brand windows are aluminum clad for low maintenance. The white oak trim throughout the home is stained in light oak with satin lacquer finish. The interior doors are all six-panel pine. The plumbing fixtures are all by Delta and the showers are by Aquaglass. The master bath tub surround is marble. The exterior is natural cedar siding and stone.
