Tucked amidst the trees on a beautiful 1+ acre wooded homesite, this inviting Ridgetopper offers privacy galore, a peaceful natural setting, and classic Galena Territory character throughout. Step inside to an open and airy main level highlighted by soaring vaulted wood-clad ceilings with exposed beams, abundant windows framing the surrounding forest, and a comfortable living room centered around a rustic, wood-burning fireplace. The adjoining kitchen offers ample cabinetry and an eat-at counter and flows to a separate dining area with direct access to the expansive rear deck, an ideal spot to relax, entertain, and immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the wooded surroundings. Main level accommodations include a spacious primary bedroom with private full bath, a generous guest bedroom, nicely appointed additional full bath, and convenient laundry closet with stackable unit. An open spiral staircase leads to the expansive upper-level loft, where dramatic vaulted ceilings, plentiful natural light, treetop views, and an overlook to the living area below create a versatile space for recreation, office, or lounge use. Outside, the home blends naturally into its heavily wooded setting with a generous lawn area, gravel parking pad, and extra sitting space set farther back in the woods. A pedestal-style lower-level space provides valuable storage and workshop potential. Whether seeking a full-time residence or a relaxing Galena Territory getaway, 6 Lookout Trace delivers a wonderful combination of rustic architectural appeal, functional living space, wooded seclusion, and the natural beauty of its serene surroundings. Sold in "As-Is" condition. Sold mostly furnished with some exclusions and to be transferred via separate bill of sale.
