Welcome to 4455 Amethyst Road, at the Pass at Black Creek on top of Aetna Mtn just 15 minutes from downtown. This Modern European Cottage style home is very well appointed and sure to please the most discerning buyer. Distinctly Dwell. Dwell Construction is a local boutique builder that focuses on detail, design, and the way a home truly lives, and you can see it before you ever walk in. Whitewashed brick, board and batten, a standing seam metal accent over the front dormer, and carriage-style garage doors give it a warm, grounded look from the street. Step up onto the front porch with its herringbone brick floor and come in through a pair of stained wood French doors. Just inside the foyer, the study is to your left, lined wall to wall with painted built-ins behind glass doors, so it works as a real office without closing you off from the rest of the house. Straight ahead, the foyer opens into the great room, where the ceiling goes up, exposed wood beams run overhead, and a tile fireplace climbs all the way to the top with a wood mantel. Wide-plank white oak floors carry you through the whole main level. From the great room, a wall of sliding glass doors opens straight onto the screened porch. There's a tongue-and-groove ceiling out there and room for both a lounge area and a full dining table, so it's an easy place to spend most of the year with the woods right behind you. Turn back inside and the kitchen sits just off the great room, built around a long stained oak island with quartz tops. Painted cabinets, a plaster-style hood over the gas range with pull-out spice storage on both sides, a paneled refrigerator, and a stained glass-front hutch. Tucked off to the side under an arched niche is a coffee bar with floating shelves, and next to it a walk-in pantry with wood counter space and shelving floor to ceiling. Dining sits off the kitchen with ample natural light and beautiful stained windows.
