Description

A home you really need to experience from the inside out. From the street, it has a bold, barn inspired design with a wraparound metal roof that gives it a look you won’t see every day. Step inside and it tells a completely different story. Vaulted wood ceilings and skylights bring in an incredible amount of natural light, giving the main living space a warm, chalet feel. Brick flooring carries through the entry and transitions into engineered hardwood. The kitchen has been fully updated with custom...A home you really need to experience from the inside out. From the street, it has a bold, barn inspired design with a wraparound metal roof that gives it a look you won’t see every day. Step inside and it tells a completely different story. Vaulted wood ceilings and skylights bring in an incredible amount of natural light, giving the main living space a warm, chalet feel. Brick flooring carries through the entry and transitions into engineered hardwood. The kitchen has been fully updated with custom maple cabinetry that makes great use of the space, along with an induction range and some thoughtful built ins. Bathrooms have all been remodeled, including marble showers that are clean, simple, and easy to maintain. The home has been thoughtfully cared for over time with updates that matter. Insulated 50 year metal roof, heat pump and mini split, updated electrical panel with generator hookup, new water heater, and a beautiful gas fireplace. The deck was built with longevity in mind as well, using aluminum and a sealed design that protects the covered patio and hot tub area below. Set on nearly a third of an acre, the backyard has a park like feel with garden space, multiple sheds, and a 1,000 gallon water catchment system to help support it all. Plenty of parking out front with room for guests, RVs, or whatever else you might need. It’s unique, well maintained, and one of those homes that just clicks the moment you walk through the door. Come take a look.
