About This Project:
A custom home conceived to meet a unique challenge: to seamlessly blend the warmth of family life with the rigorous demands of a professional catering business. The design thoughtfully accommodates both grand hospitality and personal comfort in every space.
This custom timber-frame home features:
3 Bedrooms
2.5 Bathrooms
Dual-Kitchen Design (Family & Commercial)
Dedicated Office/Loft
Solarium
Covered Outdoor Living Room with stone fireplace
Attached 2-Car Garage
From the outside, the residence presents a classic Pacific Northwest lodge aesthetic, defined by heavy timber elements in the covered entry and expansive rear veranda. Natural stone exterior wainscoting and the commanding fireplaces firmly grounds the structure in its environment.
Inside, the heart of the home is the open-concept living and dining area. A massive, double-sided stone fireplace acts as a central anchor, providing a beautiful focal point that delineates the spaces while maintaining flow and connection. Large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary to the outdoor living area, creating an ideal layout for large-scale entertaining.
The home's most unique feature is its dual-kitchen layout, created specifically for the owners' catering business. The design includes an inviting family kitchen that flows into the dining area. Directly adjacent is a fully-equipped commercial-grade kitchen, complete with a walk-in refrigerator and extensive prep space, allowing the business to operate efficiently without disrupting the main living quarters.
Throughout the home, custom details add character, from the two-story library loft with its vaulted ceilings and unique pulley chandelier to the light-filled solarium. The Hunter Residence stands as a testament to a design that successfully functions as both a comfortable family home and a high-performance professional workspace, perfectly tailored to a dynamic lifestyle.
