Great Bear Retreat
This private family oasis has something for everyone: from the outdoor dog shower – to the indoor/outdoor back-to-back wood burning fireplace. This regal home comes together under a contemporary Arts and Crafts umbrella.
The curved front entry opens to a vestibule that follows to a winding staircase – but if you need to, you can take the elevator. The hearth seating on the stone fireplace reminds you that this stately residence is a warm family home. The heirloom cook stove is built into the kitchen millwork and integrates perfectly with the overall design.
The shadow line drywall detail around the timbers and beams creates a smooth and clean finish throughout. This beautiful retreat will welcome the family for many years to come.
