Inside, you will find soaring wood-beamed ceilings, a skylight that fills the room with natural light, a double vanity with mirrored medicine cabinets, a luxurious soaking tub, and a brand-new marbled shower. The tiled bath suite connects to a generous walk-in closet with a convenient laundry room nearby. Upstairs, two guest rooms each offer the privacy of their own en-suite baths. The inviting loft with maple floors and with its expansive windows, frames mountain vistas and creates a perfect nook for reading or quiet reflection. On the lower level, a spacious family room with a cozy fireplace awaits, alongside an office, a bonus room, and a bath, all with easy access to the double garage. Step out onto the lower deck from either the family room or bonus room to enjoy the fresh mountain air. Some furnishings may be negotiated separately. This beautiful mountain paradise has been well maintained. The primary shower was installed last year, and the main level heat pump is less than 2 years old. The water heater was recently replaced, and the property has close access to Hwy 70, Hwy 18 and I-40.
