Tucked away on a peaceful .91-acre lot, this hillside retreat offers sweeping mountain and valley views from its elevated perch. A stunning wall of windows brings the outdoors in, flooding the open living area with natural light and showcasing the ever-changing beauty of the landscape. Vaulted natural wood ceilings add a sense of warmth and tranquility to the airy interior. At the heart of the home, a dual-sided fireplace provides cozy ambiance for both the inviting living room and the adjacent dining area—perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings in. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops and generous workspace, ideal for culinary creativity. A separate laundry room adds everyday convenience. The primary suite is a restful haven, filled with soft light and featuring high ceilings and a luxurious en-suite bath with a Roman-style tub and walk-in shower. The two bedrooms open onto a charming tiled courtyard-style patio—a private, peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. A generous view deck extends off the main living area, offering a spectacular vantage point for sunrise reflections or sunset gatherings. The expansive rear yard provides ample space for a garden, pool, spa, or future outdoor entertaining areas. Additional features include a dog kennel, storage shed, and plenty of room to grow. Recent upgrades include a new roof, ductless mini-split heat & AC units, and all-new concrete driveway and walkways. With nearly an acre of land and additional street-level access from the lower portion of the lot, the possibilities here are as inspiring as the views. This is more than a home—it's a tranquil retreat where nature, comfort, and style meet.
