    What's special

    Warm wood-burning fireplaceComfortable guest bedroomFinished walk-out lower level
    Beautifully kept 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath contemporary Galena Territory retreat with rustic flair, tucked away from the road on a secluded 1.41-acre lot with park-like surround, lush treed backdrop and nature all around. A freshly seal-coated parking pad above offers room for multiple vehicles, while the stair and pathway approach to the front deck creates the feel of a private woodland trail as you descend. Inside, the bright and airy main level features an inviting great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a warm wood-burning fireplace, lots of glass that frames in the gorgeous wooded views, and access to an expansive rear deck that wraps around one side of the home, offering a peaceful place to relax, entertain, and take in the scenic natural surround. The open dining area provides room for gatherings and leads to a cozy den with windows galore that beautifully pull the outdoors in. The nicely appointed kitchen features painted cabinetry, a gas range, eat-at breakfast bar, and nearby powder room. The finished walk-out lower level houses a spacious primary bedroom adjoining a full bath with dual vanity areas, including one that can be closed off by pocket door for primary use, plus a comfortable guest bedroom, laundry/utility room with deep basin sink, and side door access to the covered space beneath the deck and rear yard beyond. Nicely landscaped grounds, manicured yard space, wooded privacy, and a serene Galena Territory setting combine to create an inviting retreat surrounded by nature. Exterior has been updated to LP Smartside Siding and home has been converted to natural gas. Sold furnished with some exclusions and transferred via separate bill of sale.
