Description

Tucked away on over 10 private acres near the ski hill, this remarkable 2006 one-storey home offers over 1,350 sq ft, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with thoughtful, accessible-minded design. Soaring wood-clad vaulted ceilings, striking 3¼” rift- and quarter-sawn Jatoba hardwood flooring, and beautiful custom woodwork crafted by a talented local craftsman give this home unmistakable character. Custom tilework, also by a respected local artist, continues throughout. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, a large island and cooktop with statement overhead exhaust, while the ensuite is a showstopper with an incredible multi-jet spa shower. In-floor heat, drilled well, newer septic, concrete perimeter deck, carport and covered timber breezeway complete this truly special acreage. (id:63159)
