About This Home

As of May 2023

Mountain log home perched on a ridgel with beautiful views and privacy. A very loved home in a serene setting with hardwood floors, gas log fireplace, 3 br/2ba on main level and 2 heated finished bonus rooms on lower level which could be a home office, family room or storage space. There is also a 3rd bath almost completed making it a great guest suite. Lots of wildlife off covered deck. Two and a half car garage with workshop in lower level. Main floor has a dumb waiter to bring groceries up from lower level or send wash downstairs to the W/D. Hot tub off the lower level sliding doors. (which owners have never used). This home is delightful and a perfect get-a-way. Side yard for cook-outs. All furnishings convey with home.
