Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with just three neighbors and 1+ acres of elbow room, this home hits that rare sweet spot: close enough to feel connected, secluded enough to truly unwind. Wake up to distant mountain views, sip coffee on your private back deck, and let the world melt away. Inside, the layout flows with ease. A first-floor bedroom, full bath, and laundry mean single-level living is absolutely on the table. The open kitchen and dining area invite lingering dinners and spontaneous late-night chats. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has shared access to a full bath and two more spacious bedrooms. Downstairs? That's where the possibilities expand. A second, fully functional kitchen area, full bath, and den make the finished basement a prime spot for guests, multi-generational living, or even rental income (it's on its own sewer line). Bonus points: a classic front porch for people-watching (if there were people), an attached two-car garage, and plenty of room to breathe. Privacy, potential, and a whole lot of peace? This one is worth a look.
