Natural light pours into the space, creating a warm and welcoming gathering place in every season.
A second living space, the family room, may quickly become your favorite room in the house. Oversized windows frame incredible views of the National Forest and fill the room with natural light, while the vaulted natural wood ceiling, exposed beams, and wood-burning stove create the quintessential mountain atmosphere. Curl up by the fire as snow falls through the pines, watch wildlife wander beyond the windows, or simply sit back and take in the forest views.
The dining area flows effortlessly to the expansive deck, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor setting for entertaining. The kitchen is truly one of a kind, thoughtfully designed with exceptional character and function. A rustic center prep island, distressed cabinetry, stone countertops with beautifully finished edges, and a cabinet-front double-drawer dishwasher blend seamlessly with the home's old-world mountain aesthetic. A chef's gas range is tucked into a custom nook beneath a striking wood hood, while the distressed pantry wall features an arched coffee station, cabinet-enclosed refrigerator, abundant storage, and generous prep space. Vaulted beamed ceilings and carefully selected lighting complete this remarkable space.
The home offers three bedrooms plus a versatile loft currently being used as a bedroom, along with a charming reading nook that adds yet another special space to retreat and relax. Two generously sized guest bedrooms with vaulted ceilings share a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a custom vanity, stone countertop, vessel sinks, and brick-pattern marble tile extending into the custom shower surround.
The main-level primary suite is a private retreat with soft carpeting, a vaulted wood ceiling, elegant lighting, and large sliding doors opening directly to the side deck. The ensuite continues the home's distinctive style with a custom dresser-inspired vanity topped with dark stone and a separate bathing room featuring a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub and walk-in shower.
An inviting circular driveway and beautifully landscaped front yard welcome you home, while the private front porch offers a peaceful place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.
Outside, the .46-acre lot gives you room to truly enjoy the setting. Expansive decks invite long summer dinners beneath the pines, quiet mornings with coffee, and evenings spent listening to the breeze move through the forest. The grassy, multi-level yard is surrounded by mature trees and feels wonderfully private, with the National Forest continuing beyond your backyard.
A large shed compliments the property for extra storage or a man cave or she shed. A fully fenced in back yard for your fur friends with a double gate for RV parking are added benefits to this property.
