Welcome to your dream mountain retreat—a beautifully crafted 3-bedroom, 2 full bath plus two half bath single-family home nestled among majestic pines and cedars on approximately 1/3 of an acre. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be captivated by the unique craftsmanship throughout, including solid wood handcrafted beams and charming stone paths and accents that give the home its timeless character. The recently repainted exterior offers a fresh, welcoming look, while inside, three expansive clear-pane windows frame unobstructed views of pine trees, squirrels, blue jays, and other wildlife—yours to enjoy from the comfort of the bright, cheery living and dining areas. A brand new propane-fueled insert nestled into a large, hand-built stone fireplace creates the perfect setting for cozy, cool nights. The kitchen boasts sleek quartz countertops, a butcher block workstation ideal for a coffee bar or meal prep. The bathroom boasts a walk-in tub/shower with whirlpool jets that promises relaxation after a long day. Outdoor living is just as inviting with multiple seating areas, including a spacious deck ready for BBQs with family and friends. The home also features a 2-car garage, plus plenty of covered and uncovered parking. A fully fenced yard ensures privacy and a safe haven for pets. Additional perks include a pantry and storage space in the laundry room and separate living quarters above the garage—perfect for guests or rental income. Ideally located within walking distance to town and a popular trailhead, this warm, inviting home offers the best of both serenity and convenience.
