Tucked away on a peaceful and private 0.81-acre lot, this custom-built brick ranch offers the kind of setting buyers spend years searching for-and owners never want to leave. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 40 years, this timeless mountain home combines quality construction, thoughtful design, and the serenity of nature in one rare package. Built to last with full brick exterior construction, stone accents, and rock retaining walls that frame the driveway and landscaping, the home has a classic, enduring presence that feels both welcoming and substantial. Mature trees, established gardens, and abundant outdoor living space create a private retreat just minutes from everyday conveniences. Natural light fills the interior thanks to multiple skylights and sun tubes throughout the home, including the kitchen, dining area, living room, and all three bathrooms. The spacious main level features two ensuite bedrooms, an additional guest bedroom and full bath, offering an ideal layout for multi-generational living, guests, or flexible everyday living. At the center of the home, the kitchen offers warmth and character with a cozy fireplace, skylight, coffee bar, and generous workspace designed for gathering and daily comfort. A separate dining room, bright living area, and oversized three-season room provide multiple spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the surrounding natural beauty year-round. Accessibility has also been thoughtfully considered with a modified main-level laundry area featuring a handicap-accessible tub. This could be converted back to a main floor laundry or into a fabulous pantry. The lower level offers approximately 575 square feet of additional finished flex space, including a family room with a second fireplace and bonus room ideal for a home office, hobby space, exercise room, or guest overflow. A tandem double garage, second laundry/mud room, workshop area, and abundant storage add even more functionality.
