Inside, the main level features an open-concept, circular layout designed to flow naturally around the center of the home. Windows wrap around the space, providing forest views in every direction and filling the home with natural light. The family room, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, creates a warm focal point and connects seamlessly to the outdoor balcony and additional living areas. The central staircase defines the layout, with the dining area positioned beneath it at the heart of the home. The main level also includes a half bath, a utility room with washer and HVAC, and a kitchen that blends contemporary function with rustic warmth. A second cozy living area offers a more private space for relaxing or unwinding. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms with forest views are connected by a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom with a stand-up shower. An open landing, currently used as an office, overlooks the living space below and is filled with natural light from surrounding windows. Situated on just over two acres with no HOA, the property offers space to relax and enjoy mountain living, with flexibility for future improvements if desired. Whether as a full-time residence or a mountain getaway, this rustic contemporary retreat delivers character, comfort, and a genuine connection to nature.
