Welcome to the Laurette Chateau, a grand timber frame estate that epitomizes elegance and artistry, offering luxurious living both indoors and out. As you approach, you are welcomed by a large timber frame deck that sets the stage for the beauty within. The front door opens to a spacious entryway, where a grand staircase serves as the focal point. To the right, an elegant dining area provides the perfect setting for formal meals and gatherings. Moving deeper into the home, the open-plan kitchen and great room unfold before you. The large kitchen features ample space for both working and gathering, and has direct access to a large deck with a fireplace, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining.
The great room is truly massive, highlighted by a luxurious fireplace and a stunning wall of curved windows. Above the windows, a simple yet alluring timber truss adds to the home’s charm. Outside, the deck continues across the rear of the home, providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. A hallway leads past an office/den to the main level’s luxe primary suite. This private retreat includes its own fireplace and sitting area, a stunning ensuite bathroom, and a private deck area, perfect for quiet moments.
Ascending to the second story, you’ll find two ensuite bedrooms, designed with comfort and privacy in mind. One features a balcony, offering a personal birds eye view of the great outdoors. Additionally, a library with cozy window seat nooks provides a serene space to unwind. The lower level of the Laurette Chateau expands your living and entertaining options with a large rec room. This versatile space can be customized to suit your needs, whether it’s for a game of pool, a movie theater, or additional living space.
The Laurette Chateau excels in blending indoor and outdoor living, with expansive decks, rich timber accents, and large windows that frame breathtaking views. This grand estate is not just a home; it’s a timber frame work of art, providing an unparalleled living experience.
