About This Home

Rustic charm meets mountain serenity in this 3-bed, 3-bath home on a peaceful, partially wooded lot. A flat yard, mature trees, and multiple water features create a tranquil retreat perfect for nature lovers. Two driveways and a two-car garage offer ample parking, while the covered front porch invites you to relax in the mountain air. Inside, the living room features soaring cathedral ceilings. The kitchen includes appliances updated in 2022. All bedrooms and laundry hookups are on the main level, allowing for true one-floor living. The finished basement—with a full bath and access from both the main floor and garage—offers great guest or rental potential. The exterior was professionally stained 1.5 years ago, giving it a fresh, well-kept look.
