The covered front porch greets you from the circular driveway. This well maintained home offers great space with all the necessities on the main level including an open concept floor plan for kitchen, dining area & living room. Additionally on the main level, you have a den, office, laundry room, 2 BR, and 2.5 BA. Beautiful hand-hewn flooring runs throughout much of the main level and doors are 6 panel solid wood. Primary bedroom has an en-suite bath and two closets. Guest bedroom has close access to the full bath, which would also be what you'd use for the guest bathroom. Off the living room is a great office area which leads into the laundry and utility room, complete with a greenhouse window for over-wintering plants. Eat-in kitchen features a gas range, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, ample storage, pantry and a small desk area. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the large screened in porch on the backside of the house, which takes in year-round mountain views and overlooks the small greenhouse, gardens and raise beds. There’s direct access from this porch to the very private backyard & patio area, which is completely fenced. Screen porch also features a built-in gas grill area with vented hood system. The den also has direct access to the screen porch and features built-ins for storage and large windows to take in lots of natural light. From the den, there are stairs leading to the climate controlled area of the basement. Loft/bonus has mini-split system and sliding windows that open above the den for added ventilation and offers a flexible space for your private office, studio or guest space. There is additional storage upstairs, adjacent to the loft. The basement level has ~300 sf of unfinished climate controlled space, as well as ~285 sf of unheated space with large institutional sink, overhead lighting and electric, perfect for storage, hobbies or an artist studio. Both areas have direct access to the exterior. There is also `400 sf, 7' high walk-out crawl space area on this level where the furnace and water heater are located and there's storage space for things like your lawn mower, yard tools and seasonal things. Small greenhouse with exterior water hydrant and several raised beds in the back yard are perfect for the gardener who enjoys growing vegetables and/or flowers. There is a 2-car attached garage with work bench, as well as a detached garage large enough for one vehicle, and that one has power and an exterior water hydrant. Acreage includes a separate .26 ac adjoining lot, in case you want to build something else, sell it, or just keep it for added privacy and control of your mountain views. Home has a solar system, so you'll save on electric bills. Ask your agent for a copy of the full list of improvements.
