At the heart of the home is a dramatic multipurpose room with soaring 2-story ceilings & skylights—a remarkable space that could serve as a studio, home theater or gathering room. A half bath & 2nd laundry room serve this wing. Adjacent den offers more possibilities as craft room, sitting room or possible 5th bedroom. A private door leads to 2nd staircase & a private 4th bedroom with en-suite bathroom. French doors open from the den to a private patio & above-ground spa. The backyard is a true private sanctuary, framed by mature trees & mountain views—perfect for entertaining & relaxing. Recent improvements include newer plumbing, stone flooring, recessed lights & 25 OWNED & PAID-OFF solar panels.
