A rare offering in Ellicottville’s vibrant core, this distinctive property presents modern construction, effortless walkability, and valuable short-term rental eligibility. Custom built in 2017 by respected local contractor Chris Bishop, it’s just one block from shops, restaurants, and year-round mountain activities. Inside, the open-concept great room is defined by a soaring vaulted ceiling, a dramatic stone fireplace, and French Doors showcasing patio sightlines toward the slopes. The chef’s kitchen offers exceptional functionality with an oversized island, quartz countertops, quality cabinetry, and a dining area that flows naturally for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring tray ceilings, a tiled walk-in shower, heated bathroom floors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a custom walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath comfortably accommodate family or guests, and a bonus room above the heated, attached garage could be used for overflow sleeping, an office, or storage. The fully fenced yard includes a stamped concrete patio, saltwater hot tub, timber pergola, outdoor fireplace, raised garden beds, storage shed, and peaceful mountain and pond views, while a thoughtfully placed koi pond enhances the home’s welcoming front entry. High-efficiency tankless hot water and central air systems support low-maintenance living, and off-street parking adds everyday convenience. Adding exceptional value, this property is one of the few village homes eligible for STR use with proper permitting, a valuable opportunity for both lifestyle and investment-minded buyers. Square footage differs from tax records and is agent-measured to include bonus room, adding 178 sq ft.
