Surrounded by nature, this sweet 2-bedroom home with an office offers flexible living and could easily be lived in like a 3-bedroom home. A large deck and inviting outdoor spaces create the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the birds, butterflies, and local wildlife. The flat, usable yard offers plenty of room for gardening, play, or homesteading, complete with a chicken coop and detached flex building ideal for storage, an art studio, or workshop. Inside, you'll find it freshly painted, warm hardwood floors and recently updated kitchen appliances. With ample parking, peaceful natural beauty in every direction, and a tucked-back setting that feels both private and welcoming, this special property captures the very best of mountain living.
