Refined mountain living on a private acre with a saltwater pool in Achasta's guard-gated golf community. Set on a private one-acre corner lot framed by mature hardwoods, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath craftsman offers 3,702 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Double glass doors open to a dramatic great room with a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, exposed beams, an arched window, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom knotty cherry built-ins. Natural hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. The chef's kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas range, knotty cherry cabinetry, granite counters, a generous island, and a walk-in pantry, opening to a covered grilling porch. A sun-filled dining room leads to a screened porch overlooking the pool. The main-level primary suite offers a trey ceiling, walls of windows, his-and-hers closets, and a spa bath with soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity, and tile floors. A vaulted upstairs bonus room is ready for a gym, media room, or playroom. The terrace level is made for guests and gathering, with a coffered beadboard ceiling, gas fireplace with custom built-ins, and a wet bar. Two private guest suites sit on either side of the family room, and a private office features floor-to-ceiling custom eucalyptus wood cabinetry. French doors open to a covered patio and a resort-style backyard with a sparkling pool, stamped concrete surround, stone fire pit, landscape lighting, and wrought-iron fencing. A new roof (2025), fresh exterior paint (2024), and a two-car garage complete the home.
