Description

Magical views and sunsets over looking St. Mary Lake! This gorgeous 1.56 acre west facing gardeners' paradise features a spacious solidly built two storey family home. The main floor entrance level features vaulted ceilings with wood beams that grace an open living and dining room enhanced by six skylights and the cosiness of a woodstove next to a large master suite with a lovely view. Each level has a large wraparound southwest facing deck overlooking the lake. Gazebo with newer circular hot tub. The walkout lower level has two bedrooms, one bath and a large family room with woodstove. Property is securely fenced to protect the mature garden of flowering shrubs, rhododendrons, vegetable beds, rock gardens and fruit trees. 10-station irrigation system keeps the garden healthy. Full dry basement. Paved driveway and double garage. This home has good bones but is ready for a refresh so bring your good taste and ideas! (id:63159)
