Attention all Architecture lovers! This 3,000+ sq. ft. Dodecagon home (12-sided) is a marvel of engineering. It starts with an inner core steel tube that runs from the basement to the top, with steel i-beams heading out from the centre to fully anchor the home. Inside you will find exquisite wood floating stairs, solid wood post and beam construction and an overhanging second floor open to the living/dining area below. All with exhilarating views that encompass all of Halls Lake and beyond. The second level also provides two additional hang-out areas, currently used as a games area and a music area. The centre tube provides access to the basement, which also has access from outside for the perfect workshop. Follow the spiral stairs in the tube from the second floor upward and discover the amazing solarium or copula with seating a full 360 degrees, topped off by a hot tub! An incredible feature. Balconies exit off each upstairs bedroom, and decks encircle the main floor. The centre piece of this home is the core steel tube, offering an amazing stone fireplace and a beautiful mural painted by Artist Lois Rod. The construction of this home is simply a study in engineering and amazingly built with longevity in mind. The outside offers a world to explore. Over 130 acres of managed forest with trails, a pond, a salt-water pool, beautiful perennial gardens, and surrounded by thousands of acres of Crown Land. All with a stunning vista that must be seen to be believed.
