Built in 2004 and enhanced with a fully finished lower level in 2024, the home provides exceptional flexibility for full-time living, visiting family, or rental use in a neighborhood where short-term rentals are permitted. The main level includes all essential living spaces, including the primary suite, kitchen, great room, and laundry. Arrival is welcoming and practical, with a level gravel driveway and ample parking for up to six vehicles, leading to main-level entry with just two steps and a covered front porch. Inside, natural light fills the great room through a dramatic window wall beneath vaulted ceilings, showcasing the surrounding mountain landscape. Gleaming hardwood floors extend through the great room, dining area, and kitchen, where quartz countertops and a custom-designed island with breakfast bar seating create both beauty and function. The island features a built-in pop-up mixer lift and dedicated spice drawer, reflecting thoughtful craftsmanship. A wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the open floor plan and enhances the inviting atmosphere. The main level is designed with a split bedroom plan and includes three bedrooms and two full baths.
