Look closer and the craftsmanship continues: poplar bark trim, locust post supports, handmade oak barn doors, vintage flooring repurposed as wall accents, and a staircase anchored by a 100+ year-old post with rebar spindles. These aren't mass-produced decorating touches—they are details chosen and crafted specifically for this home. The tiled bathrooms continue the mix of rustic and contemporary design with a European-style tile shower, wood-edge counters and floating vanities. Comfort hasn't been sacrificed for character. The home features a free-standing propane fireplace, heat-pump HVAC, heat-pump water heater, WiFi-controlled zoned thermostats, radon mitigation system and a high-producing shared well.

Outside, paved community roads lead to a gravel driveway with parking for four vehicles and a one-car garage with additional workshop space. An RV/EV hookup provides even more flexibility. Seasonal mountain views, a charcoal camp grill and the cool mountain elevation create an inviting place to relax, entertain or simply listen to the rain on that tin roof. The home also includes a Ring camera and entrance floodlights, and the community has a nearby postal mail center with delivery service available from major carriers.
