Built in 1959 on an elevated west-facing lot, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath cabin (1,184 sq ft) offers sunset views through the pines and a peaceful, treehouse-like setting. The living room is the heart of the home, with mid-century touches like vaulted beamed ceilings, large windows, and a stone fireplace with a wood stove insert. The kitchen keeps its original charm with a gas stove, vintage aqua sink, and a back door that opens to the fenced yard. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, and the full bath is bright and practical. Forced-air heat and air conditioning provide year-round comfort. Outdoor spaces include a large open deck for dining or relaxing, a covered porch-style deck off the living room, and a fenced backyard with room for pets, play, or gardening. Parking is conveniently located near the entrance of house with additional parking space just below. The partially finished lower level offers space for storage, a workshop, or other uses. Just minutes from town and the elementary school, this cabin makes mountain living easy. Private Remarks:
