Upstairs to the left, you will find a cozy loft that is currently being used as an additional bedroom. To the right of the Loft, you will find a generously sized, adorable A-Framed bedroom. If you walk through the loft, you will be greeted with an oversized ensuite bedroom. This room is located above the garage that can be used as a separate living quarters. It has a private entrance from the garage, a closet, a bathroom ensuite, and a door with a deadbolt lock into the main house. Since it has a water source, you could potentially add a "mini kitchen" as well!
Practical upgrades add peace of mind and long-term value: a 2015 roof with fire-retardant shingles, Trex decking, and cedar siding that has been carefully maintained and stained on schedule. The home also includes a full-home surge protector, SimpliSafe security system, reverse osmosis system, and water softener. A spacious 2.5-car garage provides extra room for storage, toys, or a workshop setup.
The large, tree-covered lot offers privacy and beauty, highlighted by thoughtful landscaping and a handsome wood fence. All this, just minutes from the lake and town amenities, truly mountain living at its best.
The kitchen is complete with custom cabinets that have rotating shelves, drawers in the cabinets, and a fascinating pantry with resolving shelves.
The garage has custom storage shelves built in, including one with a hidden cabinet to under the home, with a water turn off switch - ideal of helping you winterize the home!
True pride of ownership shines with this unique and fabulous home in the woods. It has never been rented and is lived in part-time.
The backyard Shed has siding and stain to match the main house and is on a cement slab, has a window, and electricity. Complete with an irrigation system control box. Just off to the side of the shed has a chain link fence that would be perfect for a dog run, a gardening area, a play space for kids, etc.
The septic system was JUST inspected and passed. Please keep in mind that the system was inspected, maintained, pumped every 2-3 years. The access cover to the septic system was hidden by the backyard decking, but is easily accessible and clearly marked.
