THE HOME
Amy Livezey, Ron Bartsch, and Rebekka Cantrell www.sussexconstruction.com 3130 Saddle Dr, Ste 5 Helena, MT 59601 / 406.495.9663
Stunningly understated, set next to Canyon Ferry Lake, this 3200-square-foot home is the epitome of elegance. Designed for minimal maintenance and a worry-free lifestyle, geothermal heating and cooling along with other greenbuilding technologies make this home as efficient and comfortable as is modernly possible. Accented with stone, the timber frame structure embraces everything about its location; soaring east windows encompass the lake view either side of the double fireplace, an oversized deck wraps around three sides of the home and includes a covered portion and fireplace to extend seasonal use. Open railings provide the least obstruction of the magnificent views. The double front doors open to a spacious foyer with a custom built iron and live-edge timber staircase. The designer kitchen has a loose, modern feel and is open to the dining and great room – which rises up to the timbered structure and is anchored by a magnificent stone chimney complete with a gracefully hidden television. Designer lighting, art niches and a monochromatic color scheme only emphasize the sophistication of this home. The south wing comprises of the master suite – a spacious story-and-a-half bedroom with timber details, spa-style bathroom and walk-in closet. The guest suite is in the north wing. It, too, offers utter relaxation and comfort for its lucky inhabitants. The striking staircase leads to a media area and second guest suite within the lofty timbers. The landscaping is designed to gently moor the home
to the landscape and blends subtly with the natural surroundings. Two tiered ponds, fed by the geothermal heating system, flank a meandering pathway through the landscape, carefully designed and constructed by Sussex Construction, to the home’s private chapel.
