The Story
America has given so many the chance to build a better life—and our family is incredibly grateful to be among them. We’re deeply thankful for the sacrifices of those who came before us, whose courage and perseverance helped make the peace, freedom, and opportunity we now enjoy possible.
Through hard work, dedication, and a whole lot of heart, we've turned our dreams into reality. With a big family like ours, we envisioned a place where we could gather, celebrate, and connect—without ever feeling like we were in someone else’s way. Mom dreamed of a cozy wrap-around porch, and I pictured a sunlit turret with sweeping views. Thanks to an exceptional architectural team from the Northwest and a skilled local builder, both dreams came true.
Over the past 16 years, family members have come and gone, moving into homes of their own, as life’s seasons shifted. Through it all, we’ve found joy in opening our home to others—sharing our version of the American Dream. There’s something truly special about seeing guests take in the comfort and beauty of our space, even if just for a little while.
Château d’Amour isn’t just a home—it’s a haven built with love, designed for family, friends, and heartfelt connection.
The Place
Château d’Amour is a blend of luxury, warmth, and easy elegance. Its graceful exterior, wrap-around verandas, and welcoming atmosphere offer a sense of retreat the moment you arrive.
Step inside and enjoy a stunning 80-foot sightline stretching from the rotunda to the family room fireplace. The circular layout thoughtfully connects the den, formal living room, kitchen, and dining room, with a convenient butler’s pantry in between. Covered outdoor dining and the expansive porch invite you to linger outside, surrounded by nature.
A sweeping spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where the primary suite provides a peaceful escape, complete with a pentagon-shaped sitting area and fireplace. The second floor also features a guest suite, two charming turret bedrooms, and a spacious media room with a built-in bar—perfect for movie nights or casual hangouts.
Though the home spans 5,348 square feet, it still feels intimate, cozy, and welcoming. Whether it’s singing karaoke in the family room, playing piano in the living room, enjoying a film in the bonus room, or stargazing from the porch, every corner is designed for enjoyment and relaxation—with plenty of space to unwind in privacy.
The property shines in every season: cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring, hummingbirds in summer, fireflies flickering at dusk, and golden leaves in the fall. A bird-feeding station invites feathered friends year-round, and a telescope with binoculars is available for nature lovers and stargazers alike.
