About This Home

As of April 2026

Welcome to this beautifully built 5-bedroom home in Aspen Creek Estates, completed in 2022 and located in the highly sought-after West Valley School District. Designed with intention and attention to detail, this home offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and timeless Montana style. Custom-stained fir and larch hardwood floors guide you into the light-filled great room, where soaring vaulted ceilings and a striking floor-to-ceiling shiplap fireplace create a space that feels both welcoming and impressive. The kitchen is a true gathering place, anchored by an oversized quartz island ideal for casual mornings and effortless entertaining, complemented by professional-grade appliances and a hidden butler’s pantry that keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Thoughtfully designed for everyday living, the home features two laundry rooms, offering exceptional convenience for busy households or multi-level living. The main-floor primary suite feels like a private escape, featuring a beautifully designed en-suite with a custom tile shower and a walk-in closet that easily accommodates real life. Outside, the backyard offers a peaceful setting to unwind or host, with a subtle creek-side backdrop that adds to the sense of privacy and tranquility. Hot tub, TVs, and bar stools are negotiable, providing added flexibility and value for the next owner.
