With both covered and open decks, a hot tub and a firepit area, this is property provides tons of outdoor living space. The living room is large with cathedral ceilings, tongue and groove ceilings and hardwood floors. Adjacent to the living room is a space that could function as a dining room, office or sleeping area. The kitchen has gorgeous cherry cabinets. The bedroom is spacious and has hardwood floors. This home has been a full time home, a vacation rental and a long term rental. Seller has made the following improvements: Insulating and adding vapor barrier in the crawlspace, new windows, exterior paint, shed, deck, hot tub and more. Views, location and in great shape! From the sellers: Living here is very peaceful with a lot of natural light and beautiful sunrises over the mountains that stream through the house. We have enjoyed many moonlight and starry nights from the hot tub and relaxing afternoons on the deck almost year round thanks to its southeastern exposure.
