About This Home
First time on the market in 41 years! Rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive and well maintained property on 3.04 acres divided into two parcels (buyer to verify). This architecturally unique hexagonal two-story home, custom built in 1971, showcases exceptional cedar craftsmanship constructed by skilled carpenters from Finland. At the heart of the main living space is a striking central wood-burning fireplace insert with a sunken conversation pit-an iconic design element that creates warmth, character, and an inviting gathering space. The home's thoughtful hexagonal design enhances natural light and flow throughout. Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 3/4 baths. The bedrooms offer bay windows and double closets, creating bright retreats with abundant storage. The main bathrooms feature handcrafted ceramic sinks created by Chris Moench, complementing the home's distinctive craftsmanship and design. The 3/4 daylight basement includes a bonus room, bedroom, 3/4 bath and abundant storage, offering flexible space for recreation, hobbies, or multi-generational living. A double garage and dedicated workshop add versatility and convenience. Outdoors, approximately one acre is fully fenced and surrounded by mature landscaping, terraced gardens, raised beds, established fruit trees, and a tranquil fountain-creating a private park-like setting. A rare blend of craftsmanship, acreage, and one-of-a-kind design-this property must be seen to be fully appreciated.
