About this home

Set on 2.9 wooded acres, this spacious 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers an impressive combination of privacy, architectural character, flexible living space, and exceptional outdoor surroundings. From the front patio, enjoy mountain views before stepping inside to generously sized rooms filled with natural light, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings.

The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a large center island, and plenty of workspace, while the expansive main-level primary suite includes a spacious bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, huge separate shower with his/hers closets. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide plenty of space for family and guests.
