Warm, inviting, and filled with exceptional craftsmanship, this stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a rare combination of character, space, and versatility. Gorgeous pine tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings create a rich, timeless feel throughout the home, complemented by beautiful hardwood floors across the main level and incredible custom woodwork at every turn. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-concept living space where the kitchen, dining, and living areas flow seamlessly together. Designed for gathering and entertaining, the oversized dining area comfortably accommodates seating for 12 or more, while the expansive living room provides plenty of space to relax and enjoy the warmth and character of the surrounding woodwork. Just off the main living area, a massive screened porch extends the living space outdoors and provides an incredible setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The main level also features two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a large laundry and utility room with plenty of room for everyday functionality. The fully finished terrace level takes this property to another level, offering an entirely separate living space complete with a full kitchen, living room, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and its own separate laundry room. Ideal for extended family, guests, multi-generational living, or potential income opportunities, this private lower level offers incredible flexibility. A covered terrace-level deck creates yet another inviting outdoor living area and a quiet place to take in the natural setting. Outside, the property is equally impressive. A generously flowing creek winds through the property, creating a beautiful, peaceful backdrop and adding to the property's private retreat-like feel. Multiple outbuildings provide abundant storage and possibilities, while the carport, garage, and workshop offer exceptional space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, or projects. From the beautiful pine interiors and expansive gathering spaces to the incredible screened porch, separate terrace-level living quarters, and flowing creek, this is a truly special property where craftsmanship, comfort, and versatility come together.
