Just a 2-minute walk from your front door, Little Mountain Park provides access to the Lair o’ the Bear trail system, ideal for hiking, biking, and exploring the foothills. Enjoy your backyard oasis, whether you’re gardening, entertaining, or simply unwinding beside the water. Practical upgrades include a new roof (2023), most fencing replaced (2023), a new septic tank (2020), and a brand new hot water tank in the boiler (2025). The home is connected to public water and natural gas, offering rare convenience in a mountain setting.
