Take in colorful sunset mountain views, unwind beside the trickling stream, and enjoy the gently rolling, partially fenced yard, well suited for lawn games, evening strolls, winter sledding, or simply watching deer, fox, and wild turkey wander by from the covered front porch. Inside, the beautifully renovated interior is equally inviting. The updated kitchen and three fully renovated bathrooms pair effortlessly with warm gathering spaces that include two family rooms, each with a gas fireplace, a spacious bonus room, and four separate sleeping areas.
