Encompassing approximately 2,616 square feet, the residence features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and an inviting floor plan designed to embrace its breathtaking natural surroundings. From the moment you step inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and striking exposed wood beams create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. Walls of windows fill the home with natural light while framing picturesque views of the surrounding pines and distant mountain ridgelines, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and out. Designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the open-concept living area flows beautifully between the kitchen, dining, and great room. A stunning stone fireplace anchors the space, offering the perfect setting to gather on cool mountain evenings. Thoughtfully designed bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, each enhanced by abundant natural light and serene woodland views.
