Presenting “Villa M”. Experience the warmth and charm of a Scandinavian Mountain retreat nestled in the heart of Dunthorpe. With towering ceilings, walls of windows, and a breathtakingly bright and open floor plan, this unique custom home is a true showcase of European design and construction. Perfect for year-round entertaining with expansive living areas, cozy fireplace, and plenty of room / ceiling height to accommodate large Christmas tree celebrations and/or your wintertime holiday parties. For summertime gatherings, the 2 separate walls of sliding doors open up the home’s living areas that integrate seamlessly into the backyard space providing a perfect venue for pool parties, family BBQs, and summertime entertaining. Pool+Spa with fountains, lighting, & automatic pool cover. The home’s unique design is the result of an artistic collaborative between Patricia Nossen, founder of Metta Architecture and Sean Grummer of Grummer Architecture. Inspired by a desire to blend a classic Pacific Northwest home vibe with a traditionally Scandinavian archetype, the vision was to create “A living space that is organized around strong connections between interior and exterior spaces. Open across all three levels, with the atrium crowned by a ridge-line skylight that draws natural light deep into the home, illuminating adjacent spaces and the main living level. The layout thoughtfully balances public and private realms: communal areas that are open, airy, and filled with light, while private spaces are enriched with tucked-away nooks that create moments of retreat and discovery.”This two-story home features 5 bedrooms (or 4 upper-level bedrooms / 1 main-level office) and 4 full baths. Primary suite with expansive built-in closet system, walk-in shower/tub, and a secret hideaway loft; perfect for your own private library or cozy listening room. Also features a secondary au pair suite w/vaulted ceilings, built-in oak cabinetry, full bath, and private laundry room.
