Beautiful two story home located in the center of Alta. Owners recently updated this 3 bedroom home with brand new carpet, new roof, new tile flooring in the kitchen, and interior paint. Original hardwood flooring and gorgeous wood work throughout the home and built-in hutches in the formal dining room complete this home. Also, a nice family room in the basement and main floor laundry. All appliances included.

What the owner loves about this home

We love the character of the house with the original woodwork mixed with modern updates. The tall ceilings make the house feel open. We have great neighbors in a convenient location.
