Welcome to your own private mountain retreat - a custom-built contemporary nestled on 2.46 acres of serene hillside, where thoughtful design and natural beauty exist in perfect harmony. With two main floors plus a bonus third-floor loft, every inch of this home reflects distinctive craftsmanship and a cool, effortlessly livable aesthetic that embraces its stunning surroundings. Outside, a wraparound tiered deck sets the tone, an ideal perch for morning coffee, evening gatherings, or simply soaking in the views. Ample parking welcomes guests, while a welcoming Side Foyer entry eases the transition from the outdoors in, offering convenient seating and a natural spot to shed the day before stepping inside. The Main Level is nothing short of spectacular. Soaring vaulted beam ceilings crown an open-concept layout that flows beautifully between the Kitchen, Dining Room, and Living Room, framed by a stylish wood rail perimeter overlooking the lower level. At the heart of it all, the Kitchen impresses with custom cabinetry, an oversized cooktop, double wall ovens, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island with an integrated prep sink, the kind of space that draws people in and keeps them there. A dedicated Kitchen Secretary adds extra counter space and organization, while deep, expansive windows frame breathtaking hillside views that make cooking feel like an experience. The adjacent Dining Room is bathed in natural light with upgraded fixtures and direct deck access, and the cozy Living Room anchors the social core of the home. Upstairs, the third-floor Loft is a showstopper. Soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and endless versatility make it equally suited as a home office, artist's studio, or quiet reading nook. Also on the main level are two beautifully appointed Bedrooms, an upgraded Full Bathroom with custom cabinetry and stall shower, and a convenient Half Bathroom for guests. The daylight Lower Level effectively doubles your living space. A sprawling Family Room with custom built-in shelving sets the stage for movie nights, game days, or creative pursuits. Two additional spacious Bedrooms and a well-appointed Full Bathroom featuring an oversized vanity, stall shower, soaking tub, and a private independent sink area round out this level alongside a dedicated Laundry Room, a Root Cellar lined with shelving, and a large Utility Room built for serious organization. The attached Garage, accessed through the enclosed Foyer, is a blank canvas with remarkable bones. Currently thriving as a home gym, it easily converts to multi-vehicle parking, a workshop, or studio space, and a walk-up second floor adds even more storage or finishing potential. Out back, a step-down deck opens to a private patio wrapped in mature trees, offering a quiet, nature-immersed escape just steps from the door. Ideally positioned in a picturesque region defined by rolling hills and genuine community character, this property puts you within easy reach of parks, hiking trails, state game lands, and river recreation. Local dining and charming boutiques are just minutes away, and commuters will appreciate quick access to Route 11, Route 93, and Interstate 80. Whether you are searching for a full-time sanctuary or the ultimate weekend retreat, this mountain contemporary delivers comfort, character, and a rare, authentic connection to the natural world.
