About this home
Peace & serenity are spoken here, in a quiet enclave where the magnificent National Forest becomes your 4-season playground, about a 5-minute walk, ride or roll from home. Head out with the dog, hike or bike beneath the pines, explore the trails or simply lose yourself in the scents & sounds of nature. It’s mountain living with a little more breathing room, without the hustle & traffic, yet Snow Summit, shopping & restaurants are about 10–12 minutes away. The 6,800 sq ft fully fenced lot has a story of its own, with fresh eggs from the owners’ well-loved chickens joining flowers, herbs & vegetables grown in the homes raised garden beds, creating a beautiful garden-to-table experience. The welcoming entry deck, an additional seating area & expansive upper deck off the Great Room deliver lovely outdoor living & entertaining options. This home’s 1,200 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath reverse floor plan places the spacious Great Room & dramatic wood-burning fireplace upstairs as an impressive focal point. Soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, skylight & warm wood walls deliver the architectural details that give this room its distinctive mountain character. Southern/southwestern exposure brings in wonderful natural light, while remarkable fossilized eucalyptus flooring adds natural beauty along with high durability & scratch resistance. The wall of glass offers a wonderful vantage point to watch the snow fall & seasons change, with glimpses of the mountains through the trees. Open to the Great Room, the kitchen & dining area share the natural light & easy flow, while the home’s open-concept design & distinctive architectural details offer exciting possibilities to make it your own. The expansive upper deck extends the living & entertaining space outdoors. Three spacious bedrooms, each with a large closet, include one currently used as a fantastic home office. High ceilings, beautiful beams & tongue-and-groove details bring wonderful dimension & continue the home’s mountain charm. The full bath includes a great linen closet, complemented by a convenient half bath upstairs, while a separate laundry room adds everyday function. Boat & RV parking with an RV cleanout add flexibility, while additional space may offer possibilities to expand or add a garage. An aviary structure & powered shed add extra storage, and a roof replaced in 2019 is peace-of-mind for the years ahead. Mountain charm, the National Forest as your playground & room to dream—it’s all here!
