Hardwood floors run throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, while natural light enhances the warm wood tones and open flow of the space. The main level offers an open-concept living and dining area, a well-appointed kitchen, and a comfortable guest bedroom with an ensuite bath. The guest bath features a unique circular soaking tub, perfect for both rejuvenating hot soaks and invigorating cold plunges—a rare find that adds a spa-like touch to this mountain home. Upstairs, a spacious open loft serves as a quiet sitting area or home office—ideal for reading, creative pursuits, or remote work—all while offering a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding forest and the soothing sound of Buck Creek below. The entire lower level is dedicated to the primary suite, creating a private retreat designed for relaxation and renewal. A gas stone fireplace adds cozy comfort, while the ensuite bath features a river stone walk-in shower that blends natural beauty with modern design. The screened porch off the primary suite overlooks Buck Creek and offers direct access to the lower-level open deck and stone patio, perfect for enjoying the sights and sounds of the water. Recent updates include a new three-bedroom septic tank installed in 2024, providing added value and peace of mind.
