The spacious living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and flows into the home's generous gathering spaces. A well-appointed chef's kitchen opens directly to the screened porch, offering perfect opportunities for indoor and outdoor living. Four bedrooms, including a spacious, comfortable primary suite with a private covered deck, provide ample space for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. High speed fiber optic internet connectivity offers opportunities to work from home and still catch first tracks on an epic powder day.
