Log and golf in Silverthorne

Today’s featured home sits on a sunny lot right on the Raven Golf Course in Silverthorne. The new log home at 1707 Falcon Drive boasts four bedrooms, three and a half baths and full log construction, along with a great look at Buffalo and Red Mountains from its sunny wraparound deck. Offered at $1,350,000, the home offers 3,576 square feet of living space, as well as a three car garage and plenty of storage.

Stairs lead up to a covered front porch and to a pair of doors, reminiscent of a bygone era. The main entry has a slated area and then opens into a front room, currently staged as the dining room, with a river rock fireplace centering the space. Soaring ceilings have tongue and groove construction and the floor is beautiful natural-toned wide plank. Other details include a raised hearth and wood mantle on the fireplace and massive peeled log beams with metal animal detail.

The open kitchen is truly the heart of the home, with knotty alder cabinets and granite countertops in beige, charcoal and sage. Appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator, four burner stovetop with grille, dishwasher, and a double wall oven which incorporates an Advantium/convection component. A two level countertop provides additional seating.

The other side of the kitchen offers gathering space, utilizing the glass doors to bring in the mountain and golf course views. The spacious deck is accessed from here as well.

To the right, the first of the bedrooms is a main floor master with sliding glass doors out to the deck. The adjoining master bath has honed travertine countertops and tumbled travertine backsplashes in a beige and latte palette. There is a jetted rectangular tub, double Kohler sinks and a steam shower with bench. A walk in closet and oil rubbed bronze faucets complete the design elements.

Also on the main level, a powder room with pedestal sink is a convenient amenity. There is also another bedroom (or office) with a steam shower as well. The layout gives excellent privacy and the unusual opportunity of having two main floor bedroom suites.

Stairs down to the lower level lead to slate which runs through a laundry, mudroom and exterior entrance area. The oversized garage could house three vehicles, or add a workroom for the handyperson. The family room on this level opens onto a level yard set well back from the golf course. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with the family room.

Details throughout the home are thoughtfully done, with solid peeled beam stairway posts and peeled beam pickets, hand scraped paneling, and two panel solid core doors, to name a few. The location in a quiet neighborhood is just a short drive to highway access. Coupled with the lure of a mountain log home and a lovely floor plan, this new home needs only your family and friends to celebrate every season.
