Nestled in a forested setting, this house on Henderson Drive is a sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in poetic harmony. Its design philosophy emphasizes complementing the scenery rather than competing with it, creating a serene, isolated retreat from the modern world. You will feel like you are in a forest, but this house is a couple of minutes from major grocery stores, public transit, and restaurants. The house is a three-story structure, and its lines mirror the forest floor. Large picture windows blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living and welcome views of dense, lush tree canopy. Deep overhangs provide shade and a protected area to enjoy the outdoors in any weather. The atmosphere is one of profound tranquility. The air is often misty in the early mornings, carrying the rich, earthy smell of damp soil and cedar. The dominant sound is the constant, gentle symphony of the natural world: birdsong and the rustle of leaves in the breeze. The property is a haven for wildlife, with deer occasionally grazing at the forested backyard, while songbirds sign on branches. The landscape shifts dramatically with the seasons. In autumn, the surrounding trees explode in a riot of red, yellow, and orange, a dazzling display viewed from the comfort of the living room. In winter, the house becomes a cozy haven, a warm, bright beacon against a backdrop of white snow. Though this house is in a forested setting, the interior offers modern-day amenities: LVC flooring, SPC flooring, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer, dishwasher, forced air, etc. Imagine yourself baking an apple pie while enjoying hummingbirds that are visiting your feeder from your kitchen's picture window. Imagine yourself relaxing on the deck and no one in sight but trees, birds, rabbits, and deer. Imagine yourself enjoying a movie while occasionally looking outside through your large picture windows. Imagine and live in this peaceful sanctuary.
