More Insights
Built in 1980 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1980, this property is well-maintained but shows its age through dated finishes and fixtures. The kitchen features original-style dark wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and older appliances, which are functional but require significant cosmetic updates. Bathrooms also have tiled countertops and older fixtures, though one has a slightly newer vanity light and flooring. The carpets appear worn, and while the vaulted wood ceilings and overall structure are appealing, the general aesthetic indicates the property has not undergone a major renovation in several decades. It is livable and functional but would benefit from substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards.

About this home
Cradled by the towering oaks and pines at the edge of the National Forest, this mountain retreat feels like a gateway to another world. Trails for hiking and biking wind straight from your doorstep into endless wilderness, where time drifts at the pace of whispering pines and distant birdsong. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings and picture windows capture the forest in shifting light--morning sun spilling across the open floor plan, twilight casting a golden glow. 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a cozy loft offer intimate spaces for rest, each touched by the serenity of its surroundings. Front and back decks invite you to linger, whether watching the sky blush at sunset or tracing constellations on crisp, starlit nights. With a mudroom, ample storage, forced-air heating, and more, this home blends comfort with the quiet magic of the mountains--a place to both lose yourself and find yourself again.
