Upstairs, you'll find beautiful, recycled distressed hardwood floors and a glass floor entry leading to the master bedroom. The open-concept living room includes a 55" television with extensive cable channels, and the kitchen is equipped with granite countertops and sleek stainless steel appliances.

The lower level is styled with painted concrete floors and a stainless-steel staircase. A third bonus room provides a queen-sized bed for additional guests. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle, the owner has created a micro-farm on the property, adding a touch of nature that’s perfect for a relaxing retreat.

Outside, you’ll discover a secluded, 30-foot high deck with lounge furniture, a heater, and a new 6-person Hot Springs Spa—ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. Despite its prime central location, the property offers a peaceful, private atmosphere.
