The knotty alder bar with granite counters framed by stone accents is a showstopper. Dimmable lighting, built-in speakers, and a stone gas fireplace set the perfect ambiance for movie nights — and the TV stays. Your wellness retreat begins in the dedicated gym — complete with heated floors — and ends with a rejuvenating steam shower in the lower level bath, which also provides heated flooring. Need a quiet place to focus? The lower level includes a dedicated office with a built-in waterfall granite desk and built-in knotty alder enclosed bookshelves. A huge storage area and a deep freezer that stays—perfect for Costco runs, holiday hosting, and everything that comes with acreage living. The outdoor spaces are impressive — with two maintenance-free decks (including space for dining and grilling), a pergola, and an impressive decorative aggregate concrete patio wired for a hot tub. Established apple and pear trees, plus a huge, enclosed garden with irrigation already in place, round out the lifestyle.
