Outdoor living shines here. The main-level deck has been upgraded with an extended roof, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed mountain views rain or shine, all year long. Whether sipping your morning coffee at sunrise, grilling with the convenience of a dedicated gas line just outside the kitchen, or relaxing in the lower-level hot tub as the sun sets behind the peaks-every moment feels extraordinary. The kitchen boasts thoughtful upgrades, including a pot filler above the stove-no more carrying heavy pots from the sink. With the option to purchase an additional 1.26-acre lot adjacent to the home, this property offers space, luxury, and flexibility.
