Quintessential mountain home nestled in the woods. Sweet private setting in a lovely small neighborhood and buffered by undeveloped community property. This remodeled, custom home is a great find. Stunning stone fireplace, soaring cathedral ceiling, bright open floor plan with split bedroom plan upstairs. LR and both bedrooms open to large deck. Finished basement with wet bar and private patio has been used as a rental in the past. A rare find!
