Adjacent to it, a walk-in pantry connects to the main-floor laundry, which also opens to the main entry. A ¾ bath and generous storeroom complete the main floor. At the top of the stairs is a great space for lounging or exercise equipment. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a private bathroom, and those same spectacular valley views. A second bedroom, currently used as an office, offers additional flexible space. Outdoors, a two-stall garage/carriage house includes workshop space and solar battery storage.
