Spectacular waterfront views with over 900 linear feet of water frontage on more than five acres of wooded property provide the stunning setting for this architectural award-winning gem designed and built as the personal residence of award-winning architect, Mark Kohler, founder of KohlMark Architects and Builders. This home offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance and modern comfort for those seeking luxury in a tranquil retreat, all while being conveniently close to Clifton, shopping, restaurants, and I-95. Across the river lies Fountainhead Regional Park providing breathtaking views at a wide point of the River. The property includes a private dock for kayaking, boating, paddle boarding, and fishing. This craftsman-style home, finished with stone and Hardiplank siding, seamlessly integrates with nature, offering over 5000 square feet of living space and an additional 1000 square feet of covered exterior areas. The symmetric twin parking pavilions provide additional covered parking for 4 vehicles, designed with exposed Douglas Fir timber frames and natural stone, complement the main house, preserving the water views and blending harmoniously with the surrounding trees. These pavilions frame the home, creating a dramatic yet balanced entrance worthy of a luxury resort.

The outdoor living spaces include a timber-framed porch, a stone patio with a fire pit commanding view of the River, a second stone patio overlooking a ravine, a grilling station, and a breezeway with two large sliding doors connecting the garage to the home. Inside, the home boasts reclaimed heart pine floors, travertine tiles, Douglas Fir wood trim and timber frames, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets, soapstone countertops, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, cathedral ceilings, and large wood windows that flood the interior with natural light. The entrance, reminiscent of a pier passageway, features steel railings with cable rail hardware for unobstructed views. The glassed-in double front entry offers breathtaking river views and connects a multipurpose room on the left—which could be converted into a main-level bedroom suite with plumbing already in place—to the main living space on the right. This open-concept great room is adorned with a massive stone fireplace and dramatic exposed double timber framing, evoking a vacation-like ambiance while adding warmth and character. The great room flows into a dining area and gourmet kitchen equipped with custom rustic cherry cabinetry featuring built-in organization systems, an island with a high-top counter for stools, Silestone countertops, and a Décor dual-fuel range. A secondary entrance leads from the garage through the covered breezeway into a mudroom and butler’s pantry off the kitchen. A third entry point, accessible from the porch deck overlooking the water, transforms into a screened-in porch.
