Vaulted ceilings, a warm wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious open floor plan create a relaxed, inviting space ideal for full-time living or a serene weekend getaway. A bonus flex room offers potential for a third bedroom, office, or studio. Step outside onto your private deck and take in the crisp alpine air, surrounded by tall pines and natural beauty.
