180 MacColl Rd, North Thompson River, Darfield, BC
I just finished uploading this House for sale, 180 MacColl Rd, North Thompson River, Darfield, BC
The home boasts 3 levels: the main floor, walk out basement, and an upper floor. The finished living space is 7,285 sq ft and when combined with the pool room and garage the total exceeds 9300 sq ft. Entry to the house is on the main floor with several entrances. The front door is a masterpiece in itself. It features two separate hand carved panels crafted by a professional carver. Alternative entrances include a mud room, the garage, and off the large deck on the back of the house. No hallways in this home accentuate the open plan and capture added light and views from every angle inside. The entry foyer opens into a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and massive wood windows. One can sit and enjoy the views including the river, farm fields, and the peak of Sun Peaks Mountain. Between the living room and dining room is an unbelievable wood spiral stair case built surrounding a three foot diameter center log. The gourmet kitchen features a 6 burner range top and includes a full size warming drawer with double builtin wall ovens nearby. Eastern white pine wood cabinets were custom hand crafted to owners' specifications. Island bar eating area serves as a practical and social gathering place for family and friends. The pine cabinets are showcased throughout the house, in the office, bathrooms, and summer kitchen on lower level. On the opposite side of the living room is a library / office with builtin bookshelves and cabinets and the master bedroom suite. The bedroom faces south and enjoys the same views as the living room. A door opens right onto the deck which extends right across the entire house. There is a large walkin closet and an incredible ensuite. In addition to the double sinks and shower, there is a jetted tub built into a corner bay window that has views both up and down the entire North Thompson Valley. The pool room is the size of most houses, accentuated by a vaulted ceiling with cathedral windows at one end and several log trusses spanning above the pool, this bromine filled pool is easier on the interior of the building as well as the plants. Like the rest of the house, the pool is heated by a state of the art geothermal heating system that makes use of the temperatures differences below the earth’s surface. This ensures a constant supply of heat year round, and saves the owner hundreds of dollars a month on their heating and electrical bills. There is also a hot tub and direct access to a bathroom without having to track water through the house. The upper floor enjoys more of the same views and has two very large bedrooms, each with an en suite. One has its own small deck affording the same views up and down the valley. The lower floor, built into the rock bluff, has a full walkout basement. The main portion, which includes a rec room (with a fireplace) games / exercise room, and a large wet bar is ideal for entertaining. There are two good sized bedrooms, a bathroom, storage room, wine cellar / cold room, and the mechanical room.
