The main level is designed for ease and accessibility, featuring a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom, complete with a soaking tub. A two-story great room with a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace creates a welcoming gathering space, while hardwood floors and central air conditioning add comfort throughout. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality Viking appliances, ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. Outside, the property has been thoughtfully improved to enhance mountain views and to maximize natural light. Additional features include a heated two-car garage, a large laundry room, ample storage space, and a finished lower level with a recreation or fitness area that opens directly to a bluestone patio.
