Welcome to a custom-crafted retreat where elevated living meets the quiet beauty of North Idaho's woods. Set on 1.23 private acres in the Upper Twin Lakes neighborhood, this home showcases exceptional artisan detail. Floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, hickory cabinets, and natural woodwork bring the forest indoors. Granite counters, warm textures, thoughtful craftsmanship define every room. Expansive gathering spaces flow seamlessly, inviting morning coffee on the deck beneath towering trees and evenings unwinding under open Idaho skies. With room to breathe, space to entertain, and nature at your doorstep, this property offers the perfect blend of privacy, recreation, and refined comfort. Experience the wooded serenity and handcrafted quality that make this home truly one-of-a-kind. With Upper Twin Lakes access across the road and minutes from Twin Lakes Golf Club, this home blends elevated craftsmanship with the quiet beauty of surrounding timberlands. Lifestyle defined by nature! Anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a 20-foot great-room ceiling, the interior celebrates natural materials at every turn. Hand-selected hickory cabinetry--with custom drawers, under-cabinet lighting, and matching hickory finishes in every bathroom--pairs beautifully with natural stone and granite counters, warm wood molding, and a custom fireplace mantle that echoes the surrounding forest. A pot filler, in-wall oven and microwave, and whole-house instant hot water elevate everyday convenience, while the kitchen's natural stone surfaces and handcrafted details create a space both functional and timeless. The home's extensive woodwork continues throughout: custom railings and posts at the upper landing, natural wood window trim, and bespoke rock knobs in the primary bathroom. The primary suite offers a jetted tub, doorless walk-in shower, and serene views of the treetops. Upstairs, a guest bedroom opens to a private balcony with lake views--an ideal perch for sunrise or stargazing under wide-open Idaho skies. Designed for comfort in every season, the home features forced-air natural gas heat, central air conditioning, a natural gas hot water heater, and a whole-house generator for peace of mind. Dual natural gas/electric dryer hookups add flexibility. A radon mitigation system, whole-house water softener, and new well pump (2023) support healthy, reliable living. The private well produces 4-5 GPM, and the oversized septic system--with new leach lines installed six years ago--ensures long-term stability. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Top-of-the-line TimberTech decking wraps the home in low-maintenance beauty, while automatic sprinklers and drip systems keep the grounds lush. Leaf-guard gutters, fresh exterior paint (2025), and a circular driveway enhance both function and curb appeal. The fully insulated three-car garage includes an extended 33' bay, and there's ample room on the property for a future shop. Under-house storage and a dedicated work area add even more utility. For those who love to grow, harvest, or simply enjoy the land, the property includes a greenhouse, an orchard with three apple and two pear trees, and thriving plantings of kiwi, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
