About this property

Classic charm meets thoughtful updates in this inviting 3 bedroom home offering 1,582 square feet of comfortable living space. From the moment you enter, warm hardwood floors, beautiful millwork and abundant natural light give the home a welcoming sense of character. The spacious main living area flows into the dining space and beautifully renovated kitchen, creating an easy layout for both everyday living and entertaining. Renovated in 2018, the kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, gas cooking and generous storage and prep space. The slider from the dining area open directly to the back deck, extending the living space outdoors and providing the perfect spot for morning coffee, summer dinners or relaxing at the end of the day. A dedicated home office offers valuable flexibility for working from home, while convenient main-level laundry and a half bath add functionality to the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath, providing a traditional separation between living and sleeping spaces. Throughout the home, large windows and hardwood flooring add warmth while maintaining the character that makes this home feel special. Outside, low-maintenance vinyl siding, a detached garage, established landscaping and a backyard deck round out the property. A newer heating system installed in 2023 adds another important update for the next owner. With its blend of period details, modern improvements and a versatile floor plan, this is a home that feels both timeless and ready for its next chapter.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
