Set up high on Wildcat Mountain, the private, 8 acre property enjoys mesmerizing views of Red Hill in the distance, which can be appreciated from many spots in the house given all the sliding glass doors.
In the master bedroom (queen), for example, a claw foot tub is situated just so, for soaking in the panorama, through the glass doors. Step through to the deck, which runs the length of the building, and hop in the hot tub and relaaaaax. The master bedroom also has a really terrific wood-paneled bathroom en suite, including a tiled, glass-enclosed shower.
The cathedral-ceilinged living room and dining area offer a generous amount of space and comfortable seating (includes a pull out sofa), with the added coziness of a wood stove. The living space flows into a new kitchen, with fab chunky chopping block island, again with glass doors leading out to the deck.
The guest bedroom (full), which features a gorgeous vintage bedstead and pretty view of birch trees in the meadow, is tucked down a short hall, which has a second bathroom.
It should be mentioned that there are a couple steep stretches to the road that leads to this house. The private roads are very well-maintained in winter, but the access road and driveway can be challenging in winter. Having a 4WD/AWD vehicle is absolutely required for snow and ice.
