About this home

Welcome home! This beautiful one-story home has an open-concept main living area that’s made for entertaining. The kitchen is every chef’s dream, with white shaker cabinets, stone countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with seating. The oversized living room is the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day! The split floor plan gives the primary suite its own space. There you’ll find a custom accent wall, a walk-in closet, and a large bathroom with dual vanities and a tiled tub/shower. The two secondary bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home, each with its own custom accent wall, and share a full bath. Don’t miss the rocking-chair front porch, the rear porch overlooking the mountains, or the spacious fire pit area with built-in swings, perfect for enjoying the mountain air. The home is currently operating as an Airbnb, making it a great option as an investment property, or simply a wonderful place to call home.
