Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) The owner/builder had antique logs (that had previously fallen off logging barges traveling up the Apalachicola River) pulled from the river by divers and local "dead headers." The cypress logs were aged and seasoned, then custom milled at Santa Rosa Mill Works. The floors throughout the house are of heart-pine and provide incredible warmth and texture to the walls of one of the downstairs bedrooms, as well. Highly skilled finish carpenters, wood workers, cabinet makers, masons, stained glass artists, each blessed this remarkable home built of rare wood and custom materials. The are custom, hardware and built in mica lamps. The custom details of this gem are evident everywhere you look. The house has a 5 bedroom, 5 bath floor plan, with an additional room distinctively an office or nursery. The large upstairs primary suite has a sitting room, large walk-in closet, Jacuzzi tub, and sauna. An upstairs stargazing balcony is off the entertainment/den area, which may also function as a sixth bedroom. The dormer spaces are insulated against temperature changes, which makes forlarge storage areas. The two downstairs bedrooms each have full baths. The built-in features arevremarkable; the stairs, staircases, newel posts, benches, bookcases, are all made of deadhead cypress. The fireplace is framed by handmade "Green Man" art tilesvby an artist in Port Townsend, Washington. The four stained glass windows were fashioned by local Apalachicola artist, Paula Harmon. The kitchen has heart pine cabinets, lined in cedar and the stunning green subway tile, frames a six-burner gas stove. The counters are all hewn from 'heart pine, also, inviting the outdoors in.
