For 46 years Mike Hayworth has been creating beautiful, high-performance, easy-to-maintain homes that function well and use resources wisely, and this latest project is testament to that. Designed for comfortable living at every stage of life, Chicory's one-level layout offers wide doorways, split bedroom suites—one w/ a barrier-free shower, & welcoming great room w/ woodstove. You'll enjoy a custom Dutch door crafted from trees harvested on-site, vaulted ceilings w/ exposed island-fir rafters, a dramatic 15' ridge skylight, a post-and-beam porch built w/ local timber, durable fiber cement siding, custom half-round gutters & 36" deep protective overhangs. Weather Shield wood clad windows are set into 12" thick exterior walls that allow for R-63 insulation & enhance the feeling of shelter. The lush wooded site, brimming with birdlife, is mostly level & features an easy circular driveway, access to a shared well & 4-bedroom septic allowing future expansion. Mike estimates the cost to finish the home at 400k-$600k depending on selections. Make appointment to see accompanied by your broker. No drop-ins & please don't contact builder directly.
