This well-maintained home sits on 1.5+ wooded acres with mountain and sunrise views through the trees. The open main level features a sunroom, custom woodwork, and an updated kitchen and bath. Finished basement offers flexible space with a separate bath, kitchenette, and second sunroom—ideal for guests or rental potential (previous Airbnb use). Enjoy lush landscaping with Japanese maples, dogwoods, azaleas, and rhododendron, plus space to garden and berry bushes in a private, quiet setting. Solar panels, mini-splits, 2019-warrantied roof, updated systems, a two-car garage, and ample parking and storage complete this private mountain refuge.
