A spacious dining room connects to the expanded and remodeled kitchen, with maple cabinetry, stone countertops, new appliances, and a luxury Verona five-burner double gas range. The handcrafted sunburst gable and mountain carving provide a unique artistic connection to the surrounding landscape. The first-floor primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, while a two-level addition provides a generous dressing room, laundry, and studio. Upstairs, two bedrooms with wide pine floors share a bath, while a fourth bedroom or media room with its own private bath provides flexibility for guests.

A greenhouse, flagstone patio, and deck offer inviting spaces for outdoor enjoyment. The tranquil pond, custom Japanese bridge, torii gate, meditative garden, and outdoor shower create a peaceful retreat just beyond the door. A three-car heated garage provides excellent storage, along with workshop space, new doors, shelving, and a 20x12 ShelterLogic shed.
