Lodge-Style Custom Log Home in Snohomish County
Mar 12th, 2010 by Dennis S. Pearce
Embodying everything ‘Lodge’, at 4500 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 3-car garage, on 1.75 wooded acres located midway between Bothell and Snohomish, off Highway 9 in Cathcart, this home offers refuge from the hustle and bustle.
There is a primeval connection between humans and nature that makes it impossible for us to step through the door of a log home without acknowledging the union of beauty and emotion that occurs when nature’s raw materials are rendered skillfully into architectural bliss. Only the blackest of hearts could remain unmoved by a tour through a home this exceptional. Even if your bell is only rung by the sleek chromes, blacks and whites of Modern architecture, or your heart simply sings at the sight of a freshly reworked turn-of-the-century Craftsman, I defy you to resist the tug of that portion of the human genome that has no memory of plastic.
Inhale the spruce and cedar scented air, slide your stockinged feet on the gleaming maple floors, and gaze into the open-beamed log rafters 21′ overhead as you melt into a chair in the living room, heated by that most primal of all elements- fire; held captive in the Bitterroot Granite and slate gas fireplace that stretches gracefully upward through the cedar tongue and groove ceiling.
