This traditional Arts & Crafts style home is tucked away just behind the 8th green of the private Burlingame Country Club golf course. It is timelessly designed for elegant mountain living with multilevel decks, screened porch and even a fire pit for gathering of family and friends. Gracing the main level is a generous great room with dry stack fireplace, gourmet kitchen and dining, sitting area, master suite with a bathroom fireplace and laundry. Upstairs there's plenty of room for kids, grandkids or guests with two bedrooms, two baths and a large bonus room ready for occupants. Lots of turnaround space in the remarkably level drive. A perfect mountain retreat for full or part time use.
