In the great room, a floor to ceiling stone fireplace with a carved woodland mantel anchors the space beneath tongue and groove ceilings. Rich hardwood floors and natural wood trim add warmth and texture, while expansive windows frame the mountain views. Glass doors open onto the decks, connecting the interior to the surrounding landscape.
Open to the living and dining areas, the kitchen is thoughtfully arranged for cooking, conversation, and entertaining. Custom wood cabinetry with furniture style detailing, glass front display cabinets, a decorative range hood, and richly patterned granite give the space its own distinctive character. A substantial two tier island provides generous preparation space and raised seating, allowing guests to gather.

Its beautifully ensuite bath features a double vanity, glass enclosed tile shower, and a soaking tub beneath a large window overlooking the trees. A spacious loft with vaulted wood ceilings and abundant natural light provides flexible space for a reading lounge, office, or additional sitting area.
The lower level continues the same warmth and craftsmanship with an inviting billiards and gathering room, where a second stone fireplace, beamed wood ceilings, and hardwood floors create the feel of a private mountain lounge. A wet bar with richly detailed cabinetry and seating makes entertaining easy, while large windows frame the views and glass doors open to another covered deck. A second primary suite with an en suite bath, a third bedroom, and a guest bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. A spacious bonus room adds flexibility for additional living or recreation.
Outdoor living is a defining feature, with expansive covered and open decks offering separate destinations for lounging, dining, and taking in the long range mountain panorama. With its wood lined ceiling, recessed lighting, and ceiling fan, the covered sitting area feels like an outdoor living room. It is a place to settle into a good book, linger over coffee in the cool summer air, or enjoy conversation as the light changes across the ridgelines.
A level driveway with ample turnaround space and guest parking makes arriving and hosting easier, while the attached two car garage adds everyday convenience.
