The artists who built\designed in 2012 kept an eye on clean lines, consisting of an open concept main floor with high LR ceilings, creating a sense of space that belies the footprint.A Pergola extends the living space with an outdoor room; provision for a 2nd wood stove. Enjoy stunning panoramic nature views of fresh water Innes Cove offering150ft of private, deep water anchorage.The initial idea was that a second dwelling would eventually be built, just off the kitchen but the artist couple realized they had all the space they needed.The interior material palette is carefully considered, with local repurposed natural materials and pieces throughout. Polished concrete floors ensures low-maintenance longevity; in-floor heating. A wood stove provides heating in winter nights.
