A Mountain Home Beauty that is just a short hike away from Burningtown Creek that will be calling to you to drop a line in to catch one of our beautiful Rainbow or Brook Trout! This home has a circular driveway for easy access to get to the basement garage or the main level. The main level features a wrap around porch offering long range mountain views, a Primary Bedroom with ensuite bath and a 1/2 bath for guests, a laundry area as well as the quintessential mountain home living room that features vaulted tongue in groove ceiling, a wall of windows and a stone fireplace. The kitchen & dining room are perfectly placed and spacious enough for entertaining guests. Upstairs features 2 bedrooms and a full bath for guests and a loft that allows you to continue enjoying those amazing views from the upper windows in the living room. Go down to the basement and you'll find the perfect area for a workshop complete with a wood-burning potbelly stove to keep you cozy down there in the winter and you can park out of the weather in the attached garage. This home has been well maintained but could use some updates and it's priced with that in mind.
