The front façade evokes artistry in wood and stone where arched cedar beams and dual storey windows reference interior luxury. Cedar
garage doors, wood trusses, soffits and cladding complement the custom solid sawn sepelle front entry. Grey Mist acrylic stucco balances
the palette of finishes and contrasts with Odessa natural stone. Aluminum powder-coated grill accents ensure that quality is in the details.

“It’s remarkable, but the home takes
on an entirely different feel depending on
the time of day,” admits Don Goodwin
of Wolf Custom Homes. “The mornings are bright, warm, and inviting, with
the evenings quite soothing and intimate,
which is unusual because it’s the same
large open space. The mix of wood, metal,
and stone plays together very nicely at
all hours.”
Desiring to explore contemporary styling
that would not be over the top, Wolf
Custom Homes enlisted the tactical
talents of Aveline Crews, who applied
finishes and a breath-taking decor that
would reveal a different side of Wolf.
“The home reflects sleek and modern
elements yet sustains a warm and comfortable ambience,” shares Crews.

The home satisfies the needs of a
family, but the layout also captures
the interests and lifestyle of the
empty nester, with extended family
accommodations and leisure activities within a home wrapped in its
own world of relaxation and enjoyment. Ultimately, its comprehensive
features also share key benefits with
professional households.
“Both the main and downstairs levels
host open-concept flows and very
clean lines,” says Goodwin of this
two-storey home that exhibits over
5,300 square feet of luxurious living areas. “We are typically known
for our ornate millwork and a lot of
hand-crafted details. Here, our objective was to focus on a few interesting
design elements that would sustain
interest amidst a soothing palette,
linear design continuity, and a stimulating combination of textures.”

Stainless steel finishes recur throughout the home bringing shine and contrast to
natural wood and stone features, while scored maple millwork defines the decor
with consistent linear details. “It’s a very cohesive and intentional design,” admits
Aveline Crews, “People driving down the street almost always stop when in front
of the home. There is a lot of excitement with an elevation this unusual—it’s fresh
and it’s different.”
