The main entrance has a level entry. A lower drive offers level entry to all of the additional finished space downstairs. All of this contributes to this home being easy to live in! Bright and welcoming, the entry has a vaulted tongue and groove ceiling and slate tile that leads you to an open floor plan that features a large picture window with a custom awning, flooding the space with natural light. The remodeled kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, beautiful modern cabinetry, and a smart, functional layout with pull outs in the many cabinets. Original oak hardwood floors run throughout the main level, which also offers two bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level, another 1000+ sq ft not included in the official square footage due to height requirements, adds incredible flexibility. It includes a bonus room perfect for an office or guest space, a second full bath, a cozy den, a workout area, a laundry and mechanical room, and a full wall of closets for abundant storage. Recent updates in 2022 include a new roof, central AC, fresh paint inside and out, new decking, and power run to a charming detached barn style building ideal as a shop, playhouse, or outdoor storage! Outdoor living is just as impressive. Enjoy the wraparound decking, backyard fire pit, gas grill, beautiful perennial rock gardens, and a walkable, landscaped yard perfect for entertaining or relaxing in nature. High speed internet is available through Spectrum or Skyline. There is a shared well between 3 homes which has a separate meter. The home has a propane furnace with air conditioning added on 2022. The basement bath was installed by a licensed plumber but was not permitted. This is a rare opportunity to own a move in ready mountain retreat in one of the High Country’s most desirable locations. This is truly a perfect Mountain Cottage that is in impeccable condition. A must see and will not last long!
