About This Home

This charming retreat offers the unique amenities guests dream of, with the renowned Profile Trail just steps behind the home and sparkling waterfalls and trout-filled streams meandering through the neighborhood. Designed with flexibility in mind, the property features two driveways that allow for ample parking or even the option to create separate entrances for two rentable units—upstairs and downstairs. This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home boasts nearly 2,000 square feet of versatile space, with an additional 978 square feet on the updated/renovated bottom level. Inside, you’ll find room for both fun and relaxation, with spaces thoughtfully set up as a dedicated home gym, a cozy playroom or movie theater, and multiple living areas that maximize both rental potential and personal enjoyment. Recent updates make this property shine even brighter, including a brand-new 20x16 ft deck with stairs, stylishly renovated bathrooms, fresh carpet upstairs, and modern split units throughout. Additional upgrades include: new appliances, a radon mitigation system, and a new water heater, which add peace of mind and convenience. Other updates have also been made that are not mentioned here, further enhancing the home’s value and livability. Whether you’re looking for an investment that attracts renters with its location and amenities or a personal mountain getaway designed for comfort and flexibility, this home offers the best of both worlds.
