About This Home

Tucked away at the end of a long private driveway, this enchanting mid-century mountain cottage offers exceptional privacy, perched among the trees with a bird’s-nest perspective, tranquil forest views, and a carport. Thoughtfully upgraded as a forever home, the residence reflects craftsmanship and intentional design throughout. Upon arrival, the quality of finishes is immediately evident. Warm wood flooring spans the main level, complemented by natural lighting, exposed beams, and refined interior and exterior window trim—creating a timeless yet elevated aesthetic. Expansive windows bathe the home in natural light, blurring the line between indoors and the surrounding landscape. The kitchen features newer appliances and flows seamlessly into a charming dining area that opens to an outdoor sitting space—ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings beneath the pines. Just off the living room, a concealed cellar-style trap door reveals an approximately 8' x 10' storage room, perfect for wine, provisions, or seasonal gear. The spacious main-level guest bedroom includes original built-in drawers, preserving the home’s character while maxing functionality. A freestanding wood stove efficiently heats the entire home, offering both warmth+ambiance during cooler mountain months. A striking spiral staircase leads to the upper-level primary suite, where a bright and airy oversized bedroom opens onto a private balcony overlooking the treetops and star-filled skies—an ideal retreat for rest and reflection. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, design-forward mountain retreat
