A large detached garage with a workshop provides space for artistic pursuits, woodworking, or other hobbies, while ample storage throughout the home ensures everyday practicality. Winter reveals panoramic mountain views, with the potential for further enhancement through strategic tree trimming.

With its versatile spaces and timeless mountain character, this residence offers both a peaceful retreat and a setting for lasting memories.
