About This Home
Completely renovated in 2024, this beautifully updated home offers an open-concept design filled with natural light and soaring cathedral ceilings. The living room showcases floor-to-ceiling picture windows, a gas log fireplace, and remote-controlled skylights that enhance the bright, airy feel.
The kitchen features leathered black granite countertops, brand-new electric appliances, and new cabinetry, with additional new cabinets installed in all bathrooms. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the home for durability and style. The main level offers two primary ensuite bedrooms, each with walk-in closets and newly tiled showers. Upstairs, an additional ensuite bedroom makes the perfect bunk room or private guest retreat. A convenient powder room serves the main living area. The former two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a spacious family/game room, adding flexible living space. Outdoor living is equally inviting with an expansive front deck, an additional deck off the dining room, a fire pit area, and a flat corner lot with a circular driveway. Additional improvements include a new roof (2023), encapsulated crawlspace and high-speed internet. Ideal as a full-time residence, second home, or vacation rental investment. Ownership includes access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities: outdoor and heated indoor pools, tennis, pickleball, fitness center, skiing, dog park, mini-golf, arcade, playground, walking track, hiking trails, 9-hole Par 3 golf course, and Fairfield Lake for swimming, fishing and boating.
