The views from this home simply cannot be beat!The living room features a beautifully designed natural gas fireplace with a porcelain tile surround, custom concrete hearth, and fir mantle. French doors provide access to the spacious deck. The dining area has a bay window looking out to the views to the west. The primary bedroom opens into the tower area (see below) while the primary bath has a luxurious soaking tub, double sinks, stylish tile shower, and in-floor heat underneath the travertine tile floor. Twin walk-in closets provide plenty of room for your wardrobe.The stunning kitchen, designed by Norma Forbes, features quartz countertops, a lovely breakfast bar, stainless appliances, and a large pantry closet.The gorgeous timber frame tower was a later addition and is an outstanding display of the ultimate craftsmanship with which this home was remodeled and constructed. With windows on three sides, this sunny space (both upstairs and down) could be used as an office, reading nook, or cozy play area for kids.Downstairs there are two additional bedrooms (one with adjoining tower space), a 3/4 bath, large family or office/exercise room as well as a laundry room and separate storage room.Last fall, an impressive post and beam portico was constructed providing a extensive area for vehicles and Alaskan toys storage or a protected outdoor entertainment area for gathering with friends and family.The property is a gardener's delight with raised beds, a greenhouse, and well established perennial gardens.The home is located just a short distance/5 minutes to town on a private lane off of West Hill Road - one of the two main roads leading uphill from downtown Homer. The lot straddles both sides of the lane. The level, north side section of the lot slopes down into a deep wildlife ravine and is a wonderful spot to spend time outdoors around the fire pit and enjoy your private oasis!
