Serene, secluded and sublime? a most distinctive western rustic contemporary. This two-story hillside home offers all of the aforementioned and more. Nestled on two adjacent four-plus acre lots, this unique, private oasis boasts both inside and outside features that set it apart. Each has been designed to create the perfect functional, visual, and enjoyable place to call home. As you enter the home's interior, you will feel you're inside a Rocky Mountain chalet. This customized treasure looks as great today, as it did when first constructed in 1978. Dramatic open beams highlight the foyer. The tongue-and-grooved walls and ceiling work in a very complementary fashion. Tasteful, decorative finishes; upgraded mood lighting and artistic touches (many hand-created by the owners) are tastefully positioned throughout. The kitchen highlighted by shaker style hickory cabinets with Corian countertops creates a cook's dream, topped-off by high-end appliances. The family room has open-beamed ceilings, along with a wonderful and inviting fireplace. The great room (with a vaulted ceiling) offers abundant natural light. With major renovations and upgrades in 2001, the open concept floor plan offers myriad options to transform each space. Currently configured with three bedrooms, two full baths, and a lower level powder room, the possibilities for customization are limited only by your imagination. The spacious ground level boasts an Artist's Studio and garage that could become a versatile entertainment space, or even function as a home office/business especially with the established high speed internet connection. The area could also be easily converted into a private entrance in-law apartment. Outside amenities include an in-ground swimming pool with waterfall, fully outfitted cabana, kennel/fenced-in yard, terraced gardens, and a sizable covered porch.
