Gallery · The Eagle's Perch

The back of the house — the glass gable over the great room, the covered deck to one side, the open deck running along the front of it, and the walk-out lower level beneath.

Fireplace lit, deck visible through the wall of gable windows. The forest is the view from every seat.

Dining flows straight into the kitchen — one open, gathered space rather than three separate rooms.

The covered deck at its centre — the gas fire table lit, with a flame tower standing at each end.

The stone fire pit at dusk, string lights overhead, the woods close on every side.

The primary from the other side — the coffee bar tucked under the eaves, with a sink and a mini-fridge for the morning before everyone else is awake.

The Eagle's Perch sign beside the front door, with the carved eagle standing watch at the edge of the porch.

The covered front porch — a rocker by the door, under the carved sign that names the house.

The main-floor foyer: pressed-copper tin ceiling, reclaimed pallet wall, hooks and boot boxes. Wet gear has a home.

The great room wide open — cathedral ceilings, dark timber beams, and the wall of gable glass, with the kitchen just beyond.

Looking down over the great room from the loft landing above.

The great room under cathedral wood-plank ceilings and dark timber beams, with the two-story stacked-stone fireplace anchoring the space.

The long table under the loft, with the kitchen and the great room beyond it.

The kitchen island in stacked stone with quartz over it, amber mica pendants above, and stools pulled up for whoever is helping.

Full-size range, dishwasher and counter run — a kitchen meant for cooking for fourteen, not reheating for two.

The farmhouse sink under the window, with the tile backsplash and the woods outside.

The coffee and beverage station off the kitchen — drip, pods and kettle, so the morning queue never forms.

The deck at dusk — the table, the seating and the rail lights coming on.

Both grills on the deck: a Weber gas grill and a Blackstone flat-top griddle. Steaks and burgers, or pancakes for fourteen.

The covered deck at dusk — the fire table lit and a flame tower going.

The seven-person hot tub on its own pad beside the covered deck.

The hot tub at dusk with the jets running, and the fire pit lit beyond it in the trees.

The whole back of the property in one frame — the hot tub on its own pad, the fire pit ring, and the covered deck beyond.

The primary suite takes the entire upper floor — a king under the timber gable, with a wall of glass to the treetops.

The primary suite from the landing — the gable, the king, and the treetops through the glass.

The coffee bar and reading chair in the corner of the suite — sink, mini-fridge, stone counter.

The en-suite: a black clawfoot soaking tub on river stone, marble counters, brushed brass, and heated tile underfoot.

The wood-tiled walk-in shower with a rainfall head and a pebble floor, opening off the primary bath.

The main-floor king suite under wood-plank ceilings and beams.

The same room from the door — dresser, round mirror, and the window onto the deck.

A main-floor full bath with a double vanity, two lit mirrors, and the heated tile floor found in all four baths.

The main-floor queen guest room, wood-plank ceiling overhead and two windows into the trees.

The main-floor queen from the window side, wood-plank ceiling and the woods beyond.

L-shaped twin bunks that sleep four — all four beds in one room, for the cousins or wherever the kids land.

The bunk room set for the cousins — twin-over-twin, its own screen, walk-out steps away.

The lower level opens wide — a pit sectional the length of the room, the game area and wet bar just beyond.

The lower level: a pit-style sectional facing an 85-inch screen and the second stacked-stone fireplace.

The lower living room toward the fireplace and the sliders — a second great room, one floor down.

The lower-level game room — the octagon game table, the Pac-Man and X-Men cabinets, and a high-top by the window.

The octagon game table does three jobs: a solid top for cards, puzzles and supper, a poker layout underneath it, and the top off for bumper pool.

The board game shelf. Somebody always finds the one they played as a kid.

The lower-level kitchenette and wet bar: a fridge, sink, and coffee so no one climbs the stairs.

A lower-level queen tucked off the game room — quiet, good for an after-lunch nap or a teenager who sleeps in.

Full-size washer and dryer against a reclaimed wood wall, with a folding counter and towels stocked.

The round chaise in the loft nook, tucked under the slope with the treetops out the window.

The loft above the great room, set up as a quiet workspace — slatted feature wall, full desk, and the gable window into the trees.

A hammock in the shade under the deck, steps from the lower-level slider. The quietest corner of the property.

The stone fire pit ringed with Adirondack chairs, out in the trees.

The picnic table in its own clearing, a few steps from the fire pit.

The house at dusk from the drive — the gable lit from inside and the porch lights on.

The carved eagle that gives the Perch its name, watching from the edge of the porch.

The Emporia Pro Level 2 charger on the drive — J1772 connector, 25-foot cable. Tesla and other NACS cars need the adapter that came with the car.
