Step into the post-and-beam screened porch—an ideal spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply soaking in the beauty of the mountains year-round. Inside, the upper level is warm and inviting with original pine ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, a Regency woodstove, and an open living area designed to showcase the breathtaking long-range views.

The lower level features a private entrance, one bedroom, and full bath, offering excellent separation for guests or vacation rental potential. Offered turn-key, this home could serve as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or income-producing Airbnb. An encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, carport and an outbuilding for outdoor gear and lawn tools complete the property.
