Sited on 2.25 private acres, this 4-bed 4-bath home includes a main-level office that could be used as a 5th bedroom.

Every bedroom has its own private bathroom for suite-level comfort. The main-level master suite features a tiled shower, a jetted tub and a walk-through closet that connects directly to the laundry. The ~2,000 sq ft heated and cooled daylight lower level is a blank canvas ideal for a fast build-out of a short- or long term rental unit, in-law suite or an additional finished living area. It has plumbing rough-ins and two exterior walkouts that function as private entrances. This takes the home past 5,000 sq ft and creates flexible options for multi-generational living, expanded living space or a rental lock-off. High-speed Gigabit internet is perfect for remote work. Outdoor spaces include a wrap-around deck for long-range mountain views and sunsets plus a covered section for quiet afternoons, raised garden beds, mature fruit trees and an easy-care lawn. Upstairs, two bedrooms each have a walk-in closet and a private balcony with year-round mountain views.
