## Description

### Agent Description
Thoughtfully updated throughout, this beautifully improved property blends modern comfort with timeless mountain charm. Recent upgrades include fresh interior and exterior paint on both the home and detached garage, all-new flooring, updated trim, new switches and cover plates, and mostly new energy-efficient lighting. Enjoy year-round comfort with newly installed mini-split heating and air conditioning units, along with a brand-new cast iron wood stove. The remodeled kitchen features freshly painted and reconfigured cabinetry, an expanded island, and a premium new dishwasher, while the laundry room boasts new cabinetry and top-of-the-line washer and dryer. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with new paint and new toilets. Additional enhancements include a refinished and recently stained deck with new railings, new blackout blinds and curtains throughout, custom built-in office shelving, a striking reclaimed wood accent wall in the guest bedroom, added insulation above both garages, new lighting in the detached garage, and a new basement exterior door. Outside, the property has been further enhanced with a privacy fence, orchard fencing, reseeded lawn, and newly planted fruit trees, creating a beautiful and functional outdoor setting.
