Exceptional long range layered mountain views and timeless craftsmanship define this beautifully maintained mountain home, offering nearly 3, 500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across three levels. The versatile floor plan offers flexibility and includes three distinct living areas, an open loft, dedicated flex space, and a detached one car garage with unfinished space above, presenting outstanding potential for future expansion.

The main floor offers the ease of one level living with kitchen, dining, living, bedroom, full bath, powder room, and laundry. The living and dining areas open directly onto the wraparound porch, for a seamless connection to the exceptional mountain views. The upper level is anchored by an impressive great room with soaring ceilings, an open loft, and a dramatic wall of windows that fills the room with light, framing the surrounding mountains.
