The construction of Riverhaus started in May 2020. The design was based on multiple custom homes previously built by the owners whose goal it was to create the perfect modern family home. The exterior wood siding is treated using a Japanese wood burning technich called Shou Sugi Ban. In this process over 3,500 linear feet of wood was hand torched, scraped, washed, spar varnished and then torched again. This preserves the wood for decades without the need for new treatment. Corten steel was used as an accent to divide the rust coloured wood, the black standing seam metal roof and the metal siding on the bedroom wing. The front door is 350lbs of Hickory with a black vertical door pull and finger print recognition lock. Flooring is a mix of Hickory and polished concrete which creates both texture and warmth. The main living space features cathedral ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, sunken living room, large kitchen island plus a 4x8ft window over the main sink which fully opens to a screened in Muskoka Room. Also on the main level is a mud room, office, play area, 2pc bath and master bedroom with balcony, walk-in closet and 5pc ensuite. The second level has two bedrooms, living area with loft and 4pc bath with beautiful Italian tiles and soaker tub. In the walk out basement you'll find a 4th bedroom, family room with wet bar, 3pc bath and Finnish sauna. The house is wired with smart switches, fibre optic internet and a Sonos sound system. Each room has its own air conditioning with smart thermostats. Hydronic heated floors throughout, including the attached triple car garage and a Belgian wood stove in the living room. The waterfront along the Muskoka River is a quick walk or ride over a bridge and through the trees to a secluded flat lawn area with floating dock and great swimming. Located just minutes from town in the highly sought after Macaulay school district. One of only three properties on Zoe Lane, perfect for kids with hardly any vehicle traffic. (id:37775)
