About This Home

As of May 2025

Meticulously maintained, beautifully landscaped country retreat in a serene setting with seasonal mountain views in the Ivy Elementary district! This exquisite property offers so much within its 5 acres. The home has been lovingly updated over the last five years with extensive updates including new metal roofing on all three structures, refinished hardwoods, kitchen updates, new lighting, finished basement spaces, a new basement bathroom, fresh interior painting, and so much more.

Inside enjoy the open concept kitchen/living/dining space with the large wood burning fireplace, take the party to the huge back deck for a BBQ, finish the night at the custom firepit or in the basement shooting pool next to the wood stove. The current owner has taken exceptional care of the property adding extensive stone walls, raised garden beds, invisible fencing for pets, recently repainting the exterior and trim, the list goes on. A detached 2 car garage provides additional storage, a rear workshop with electricity also features an attached coop so bring your chickens!
