As you can tell from the moment you walk in, the entire space has been intuitively designed to make hosting, entertaining, and impressing guests a walk in the park. All of the show-stopping HGTV Hallmarks you crave in a mountain oasis like the cathedral ceilings, wood beams, hopelessly addicting views at every turn, hardwood floors, walk-out basement that could be used as a playroom, bar, game rm, in-law or teen suite and there’s even a loft at the top of a grand curved staircase that could be home to your baby grand piano or home office.

The open and airy split-level floor plan makes it easy to spend quality time together as much as it does to give everyone space, and it is a cinch for entertaining.
