About This Home

Welcome home to your natural oasis in The Arbor at Lake James! Imagine mornings on the large front deck soaking in the inspiring mountain views while enjoying coffee and listening to the birds. In the evening, relax on the swing under the pergola near the firepit while watching the deer and other wildlife. Natural light fills the open living area and loft. The remote-controlled fireplace hearth features stone quartzite. The bonus room is open and spacious, filled with natural light. It's got a mountain view, as well as large closets. It could be a workout room, an art room or a lovely guest room. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a gas stove, a beverage cooler, a stainless-steel island sink, and plenty of storage space. The water tastes amazing due to the water filtration system. The unfinished, walk-out basement features a French door leading out to a covered deck facing the mountains where you'll hear water from the fountain. Natural beauty in a peaceful setting.
