    This nearly 3,000-square-foot home in Hayden features large rooms and lots of natural light that pours in through energy efficient windows.

    Life in the wide open spaces with room to grow

    By Nspire Magazine on December 12, 2020 Home

    Builder: Hayden Homes

    If you’re looking for wide-open spaces and lots of storage, the Vale is the home for you.

    The overwhelming feeling of this home in Hayden is that this is a comfortable, spacious place to live. This 2,968-square-foot, two-story home has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The size of the closets alone trump those of most floorplans. Natural light floods each room in the house thanks to large, energy efficient windows, while wide hallways, square archways and upscale finishes add modern touches to its contemporary style.

    The great room provides la large space for entertaining and features a gray stone fireplace with a white, wooden mantle.

    “It’s practical and efficiently laid out, especially for the price,” says Jim Elgee of Hayden Homes. “You’ve got actual pantry space; you’ve got cabinets and tons of storage. They even use under the stairs.”

    The main floor features a den and bathroom in addition to the great room, kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is accented by granite countertops and stained beech cabinetry and is flanked by both a walk-in pantry and mudroom, which accesses the two-car garage. The great room provides a large space for entertaining and features a gray stone fireplace with a white, wooden mantle, while high-set windows allow natural light to enter. There is indeed storage under the stairs.

    The second floor is where the master suite, bedrooms and laundry room are, eliminating the trek up and down stairs. There is also a sunny and spacious open loft. The master suite can only be described as palatial – the windows in the bedroom take up almost the entire wall. The master bath has a soaking tub, lit by frosted windows, as well as a glass shower. The walk-in closet is so big it could be another bedroom.

    The main floor features a den, bathroom, great room and kitchen. The subtle separation gives a more intimate feeling to the spaces.

    The upstairs bathrooms both have dual vanities and a bounty of storage. Even the secondary bedrooms have closets that are twice the size of most older construction homes.

    “The room size is very large, which in new construction can be hard to come by,” said Destiny Hartman of Hayden Homes. N

    A Hidden Gem-In North Central Washington
.
"Similar to Coeur d’Alene Lake, Lake Chelan has approximately 110 miles of shoreline. It is roughly 50 miles long and, on average, over a mile wide. Interestingly, it is the third-deepest natural lake in the country behind Lake Tahoe and Crater Lake. In fact, the lake reaches a depth of 400 feet below sea level!"

    The Whistler Trail
.
"One of the first things to attract attention is a large arched window on the iconic stairwell projection, adjacent to the front door. It’s wrapped in stained shake and is designed to catch the eye and draw it upward. The entryway includes stone and wood pillars and a sitting area on the front porch. The landscaping also complements the natural tones."

"We were all lined up on the cat track looking over a small section of trees when Grollmus gave us the intel on this run. “Make your way through this small section of trees and then it opens wide up for about 400 yards. I’ll go first and radio back up to EJ once I get in position.”"
