Stunning views of snow capped mountain peaks are the crowning glory of this one of a kind Bear Valley home. The home oozes mountain charm and architectural drama with vaulted pine ceilings, knotty pine kitchen and bathroom cabinets, solid fir doors throughout, large glulam beams with beefy metal brackets, zip-rib metal roof, wood windows clad with aluminum exterior and Spanish tile and wood floors. Relax on the roomy deck for breathtaking views of the surrounding granite peaks. Additional 550 square feet could be added in the unfinished subarea. The owner currently uses a small storage room as a third sleeping area off the open loft not represented in the photos. Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac with hiking options just out the front door! Bring the family and enjoy an ideal base camp for the adventurous spirit with cross country and alpine skiing, mountain biking, hiking and snowmobiling nearby. Walking distance to Bear Valley Lake as seen in the aerial shots listed. Lake Alpine is a short drive away for paddle boarding and kayaking.
