Fraser's Ridge: Spacious, Modern Light-Filled Loft

About the Space

Fraser’s Ridge is featured in a commercial highlighting its hardwood finishes. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1vqs/real-american-hardwood-coalition-build-your-sancturary Owner is a descendant of the Frasers of Lovat, the real-life Scottish Highland clan depicted in the popular ’Outlander’ TV series. Materials and fittings are sourced from Fraser ancestral lands in the UK, Canada and Continental Europe. Meticulously designed by owner, this 4-bedroom/4-bathroom family estate is inviting. It features 2,300 sq ft of luxurious interior living space, a bright and large living area with a 21-foot high ceiling, north-facing oversized casement window, and well-proportioned interior spaces with high-end finishes and imported elements. Taking cues from the Bauhaus movement, the architecture is modern and intentionally minimalist to highlight lux materials, fittings and contemporary furnishings. An open floor plan and large windows invite ample natural light to permeate the space with northern and southern exposures giving a coastal vibe. Upon entry, the eye is drawn to the helicoidal oak staircase imported from Italy enticing you to ascend to the second-floor loft. Designed and manufactured by Marretti, the staircase is finished with a medium stain, contrasting nicely with the pre-finished blond hardwood oak floors that run throughout the first and second floors. Elevating the living area is the Taraxacum Chandelier designed by Achille Castiglioni. At night, it is a beacon through the front façade’s floor-to-ceiling window. Set off the living area is the state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen outfitted with imported Mia Cucina Italian custom cabinetry, Italian Calacatta Caldia polished marble waterfall edge countertops and backsplash, a 5-burner Bertazzoni gas range and stainless-steel KitchenAid appliances. Just behind the staircase there is a wine bar outfitted by California Closets with custom lighting. First and second floors feature 10-foot ceilings purposely designed for the owner’s modern art collection, which is displayed throughout the entire house. The back of the property faces south looking onto a park. On the first level there are two bedrooms, one that can be used as an office or study. A large sun room climaxes the first floor with French doors opening onto a rear deck for indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. From the second-floor loft, views overlooking the first floor are architecturally inspiring. Over the course of the day, natural light flooding into the house reveals ever-changing spatial qualities excellent for filming. The expansive well-lit primary suite is on the second-floor at the back of the property, showcasing hardwood oak floors in herringbone pattern, Asian-inspired furniture, custom pendants and a sizable outdoor balcony with views of the park and memorable sunsets. Double barn doors for closet and primary bathroom give the space a contemporary feel. The large walk-in closet is skylit. The en-suite bathroom, also skylit, features a custom designed dual sink walnut vanity and matching backsplash manufactured by JMV Woodworks from Canada. The vanity is finished with a beautiful quartzite waterfall edge countertop and modern faucets from Canadian Riobel. The shower is oversized with a wall of seamless glass. A rainfall showerhead, large format porcelain tile, marble seat and herringbone shower pan complete the shower’s spa-like feel. Require 2-3 wk lead time prior to booking, COI & 12-hr minimum rental.
