Discover peace, privacy, and mountain views in this updated split-level home. Filled with natural light, the spacious interior features touches of mid-century styling that add unique character. The expansive kitchen with island is ideal for cooking or entertaining, while the large deck—accessible from both the living room and primary suite—offers the perfect spot to take in the views. Vaulted ceilings in the living room and primary bedroom create an airy, open feel, complemented by dual walk-in closets with built-ins. The primary bath is generously sized for the era, with dual vanities, a separate tub and shower, plus a private toilet area. The lower level provides excellent space for projects, storage, or hobbies, with convenient outdoor access that bypasses the main living area. Outdoors, you’ll find a fenced dog run, ample parking on both sides of the home, and newer systems including HVAC and an on-demand water heater. A short walk up the hill leads to a shed and screened porch, complete with a fire pit for cozy evenings under the stars.
