Entering into the bright, open interior is like a deep breath that immediately lifts the spirits. High ceilings and expansive windows bring in the glow of natural light even on grey days.

A tidy half bath is conveniently located just off the front door, with the open kitchen/living/dining spaces unfolding to your right. This is the perfect space for gathering and catching up before, during, and after a meal, or a lovely spot for quiet contemplation while admiring the view. A large sectional sofa anchors a seating area that invites relaxation and coziness (complete with a wood stove for the colder months). Cooks will rejoice at the sight of the well-appointed kitchen’s thoughtful layout and ample counter space. The kitchen and generous dining table beyond are sure to inspire memorable meals shared against the panoramic backdrop of meadows and mountains.



In warmer months, a back deck hosts beautiful potted plants, comfy chairs - a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a late afternoon cocktail. The screened porch offers a delightful spot to enjoy an alfresco meal prepared on the grill, with lovely views of the front lawn and the beautifully kept garden.



The primary bedroom hosts a King bed and a soothing color scheme of grey and white. More natural light floods in, and the mountains act as part of the rooms artwork. The ensuite bath hosts a large rain shower and a separate soaking tub. Truly, this room is a spa-like haven.



As you move downstairs, enjoy the change in vantage point, with the views now being more of the lawn, meadow, and tree line - perfect for spotting birds and other wildlife. Directly at the bottom of the stairs is a door out to the back lawn. The outdoors beckoning beyond.
