Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a perch nestled amidst the trees within 1.19 acres adjoining greenspace on two sides sits this sprawling 3 bed, 2.5 Galena Territory retreat that offers a spacious layout, dramatic design, lots of privacy, beautiful natural scenery, breathtaking seasonal views and an oversized 2+ car heated garage with workshop area. Covered entry opens to airy main level featuring expansive great room living area with soaring cathedral ceilings, beamed accents, warm wood flooring, stone surrounded two-sided woodburning fireplace, roomy dining area and towering walls of glass to front and rear, each with access to its own deck, that flood the space with natural light and frame in the amazing views of the natural surround and beyond. Dining area has plenty of room for entertaining and provides direct access to rear deck and large screened porch while flowing naturally to gorgeous, open kitchen with updated granite counters, eat-at peninsula, stainless appliances, center island with on-counter cooktop and walk-in pantry. Just beyond you'll find a hallway with multiple storage closets, laundry room with deep basin sink and upper cabinetry, conveniently located powder room with updated vanity and fixtures, and access to huge 2+ car heated garage that allows plenty of room for vehicles, toys, lawn equipment and workshop/storage area in extended bay to the side. Lavish primary suite completes the main floor and offers more cathedral ceilings, fireplace ambiance (the second side from great room), sizeable walk-in closet, direct access to front deck and the views that accompany, and spa-like private bath that houses granite topped dual vanity, whirlpool tub alcove, and tiled doorless shower. Venture to the finished walkout lower-level, a haven of comfort, relaxation, and recreation, where you will find a sweeping family room with newer carpet, incredible amounts of space to spread out, elegant built-in bookcases and access to lower front patio, wet bar area adjoining that feeds to hall opening to additional lower rear patio, separate rec room/den with room for pool table, two generous guest bedrooms, a nicely appointed full bath, and utility room with deep basin sink and room for more storage space. Kick back, unwind and take in the idyllic setting, nature, and wildlife from a multitude of outdoor spaces that include the front deck with treed seasonal views, private rear deck looking into the trees and ridge behind, front or rear lower-level patios, or cozy up to the firepit in rear on a clear, starry evening. Landscaping highlights the exterior of the home and compliments the already amazing setting. Asphalt driveway with loop and additional parking area. Some additional updates and upgrades include new furnace, central a/c unit, water heater, fans and lighting in lower level in 2022, added water softener, central humidifier, connected to natural gas and added firepit in 2023, and deck flooring stained in 2024.
