Description

One of two spec homes newly constructed at Cathance Shores is a state-of-the art design developed by Hilltop Log and Timber Homes, with corporate headquarters located in Bowdoinham, Maine. Since 1983, Hilltop has provided superior products and home design, quality craftsmanship, innovation and unsurpassed client support.

This 4,000+/- sq. ft. contemporary home at Cathance Shores called the ‘Grand Lake’ includes four bedroom suites and 4-1/2 baths. The main floor looks directly out on Cathance Lake with an East-West sun exposure via an expansive deck. The lower level boasts the same view from a patio at the ground level. The design offers large, open living/recreation areas on both levels.

The Grand Lake is a brand new design among the "Timber Series", a hybrid "Timber-Frame/Post-&-Beam type" building system using "Structured Insulated Panels", hereafter referred to as "SIPs", for contemporary appeal, total design flexibility, and energy efficiency. This method of construction yields wall and roof R-factors in the 25 to 30+ range. The 'Timber Series' refers to Hilltop's unique design of exposed beams on the inside, while the exterior can be constructed of any material. Both the inside and outside of the Grand Lake at Cathance Shores is finished using conventional materials. This home features pre-colored cedar shingles with corner boards for a more traditional Maine style on the outside, with lots of glass. Long-lasting architectural fiberglass roof shingles were employed.

On the inside, this home has exposed beams above with vaulted ceilings and white walls, featuring traditional trim around the windows and doors. It features two custom stone fireplaces, an open-kitchen design w/granite countertops, cherry cabinetry, 2 great/family rooms, 4 bedroom suites, and open-concept, circular staircase to loft for office or den. From the deck, there are exceptional lake views, and both the front and lakeside have been fully landscaped with plantings and terrace stone that delightfully compliments the surrounding environment at Cathance Shores.

Affordable elegance, luxury and space all combined in a design and functionality to accommodate the family-oriented or entertainment-activated homeowner. This home has everything packed into 4,000 square feet of versatility and usefulness. The Great Room overlooking the tree-lined landscape which presents the tranquility of Cathance Lake has spaciousness and contains the fireplace, bookshelves and/or large screen television all in one sweeping view. Within this grand room is dining space and an open, fantastic kitchen fitted with upscale, choice appliances. The French door refrigerator (freezer below), range, dishwasher, microwave and wine refrigerator make food preparation pleasurable while being part of the action in the Great Room.

On this same floor, is the master bedroom suite with sliders opening on to the spectacular deck which functions as an outdoor living room. This bedroom is roomy, with glass on two sides, backed by an endless closet and bordered by a generous bathroom. The bathroom has a two- bowl, granite vanity, tiled stall shower, Jacuzzi tub, enclosed toilet and 15" tiled floor.

The opposite side of the Great Room houses one of three guest rooms with much the same finishing touches as the Master, including its private bathroom.

As one enters the house, the foyer contains a generous coat closet, utility/pantry closet, the laundry room, a powder room and spiral staircase to a second-level loft. This loft oversees and yet is separate from everything; perfect for use as an office/workspace, hobby or teen room. In the lower level, the walkout again features the Lake as a central feature, bounded by nature's outdoor living room. The terracing to the Lake is a piece of art, featuring spaces for featured plantings, patio for grilling, and for chairs and tables; a perfect foil for limitless entertaining. Back inside, the lower level has huge radiant-heated, tiled floor space for indoor entertaining, a bar with sink, ice maker, and beverage center. On both sides of the recreation room are additional guest rooms, each with their spacious closet and granite topped double vanity and tub/shower.

So, all the ingredients for a carefree, efficient, energy conscious, all year round home with enhanced features is awaiting your input; a place where your family and friends can gather and truly enjoy the beauty of nature and the gifts of an enriched life.
