First time ever on the market, this custom-built 80's mountain home boasts soaring vaulted pine ceilings and a unique and impressive window wall in the great room. Two sets of sliding glass patio doors flank the beautiful rock wall behind the wood stove, leading you to an enclosed sunroom that would make a wonderful reading nook or relaxing place to gaze at the snow or stars through the second wall of glass and doors which lead to a private rear deck. The sunroom design, along with the design of the vestibule at the front entrance and the separate mudroom entrance are all intended to create buffer zones between the outdoor and indoor temperatures. The owners who commissioned the original construction and who cherished family vacations and gatherings at the home for many years would like to pass the property to the next family in good condition; this motivated them to spend the last year upgrading key components of the home at a significant cost-- over $50,000 was spent on a new roof, a new septic system, structural deck repairs, new exterior light fixtures, and fresh exterior paint/stain on the house and both decks. The architecturally inspired exposed roof beams have also been recently upgraded with engineering and permits, including custom sheet metal caps for years of carefree maintenance. Inside the house, the main level features an inviting open-concept great room (living/dining/kitchen) with a cozy wood stove and electric wall heaters for supplemental/alternative heat. The master bedroom and bathroom are also on this level along with a half bathroom for guests and an adjacent laundry/mud room. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, a spacious full bathroom, and a small open loft area. At over 2,000 square feet, this may be all you need, but for those looking for expansion possibilities there is ample space under the house with a staircase already in place. There are two attached decks--the front one is covered--to enjoy the forest views on a private, oversized .60 acre lot. Buyers will enjoy optional membership at Big Trees Recreation Center with two swimming pools, plus all the other activities available along the scenic Highway 4 corridor including skiing at Bear Valley; boutique shopping, wine tasting and dining in Arnold and Murphys; and fishing, boating, kayaking, and hiking at numerous public lakes, rivers and trails. This wonderful mountain home is centrally located to take advantage of it all while being at the ideal elevation to enjoy cooler summer temps, and during winter, the beauty and fun of having snow in your own backyard. Roads are county-maintained and plowed. No garage, but ample storage space for all your toys and gear under the house with easy access.
