Two expansive levels stretch out over 2,615 square feet, with a main floor that’s perfect for everyday living and a lower level designed for fun and flexibility.

The exterior hints at what’s inside: crisp lines, natural stone, and rugged timber details set a relaxed, lodge-like tone.

Let’s walk through every space together so you can picture how life could look here.

The Floor Plans:

Covered Porch and Entry

The covered porch goes beyond just a place to take off your boots. Thick wood columns, gray stonework, and accent lighting create a genuinely inviting entrance.

When you step inside, the foyer feels both grand and welcoming, with high ceilings and exposed beams above.

Details like a woven console table and unique decor show that this home was thoughtfully designed.

There’s a handy nook with cubbies and hooks right off the entry, making it easy to store coats or dog leashes and keep the rest of the house tidy.

From here, you get a clear view ahead to the living room, offering a glimpse of the open layout.

Den

Just off the entry, the den sits behind double doors and acts as a quiet retreat.

Its modest size makes it a great option for a home office or a cozy study.

There’s plenty of wall space for shelving or art, and being near the front door means you can host meetings without bringing guests through the whole house.

I think this flexibility is key. You can use it as a focused workspace, a reading nook, or even a small library—it really adapts to your needs.

Foyer Hallway

Moving past the front doors, the main hallway opens up wide and bright. A long runner covers the warm wood floors, and the high ceiling with dark beams keeps things feeling airy.

The modern mountain style comes through in details like crisp trim and black-framed glass doors.

This isn’t just a walkway—it’s a space you’ll actually use. Drop your keys, pause to check your reflection, or just enjoy the open feel as you come and go.

Living Room

The main gathering space on this floor is the living room. With oversized windows and a soaring 13-foot ceiling, sunlight fills the room and makes it feel spacious.

Exposed beams and a modern fireplace add a blend of cozy and contemporary style. Plush seating, a big sectional, and natural wood accents give it a relaxed vibe.

I can easily picture curling up by the fire with a book in winter or gathering everyone for movie night.

I really like how the open layout keeps this room connected to both the kitchen and dining area, which makes it great for entertaining.

Kitchen

If you enjoy cooking or just being in the kitchen, you’ll appreciate this space. The large island seats five, so it’s perfect for casual breakfasts or chatting with friends over coffee.

There’s a mix of dark wood cabinetry and white counters, and those geometric pendant lights overhead bring a bit of flair.

A wall of windows lets in the morning sun, while built-in appliances keep things looking clean and uncluttered.

The galley layout feels open yet efficient, and there’s plenty of counter space for meal prep or serving snacks.

Pantry

Right off the kitchen is a walk-in pantry. At over eleven feet long, it’s more than just a closet.

There’s space for bulk groceries, small appliances, or even a dedicated baking station if you’re into that.

The pantry is positioned out of direct view but still close enough for convenience. I notice a lot of new homes skip big pantries, so I appreciate seeing this kind of storage for busy families.

Dining Room

The dining room sits in the back corner, surrounded by windows and anchored by a sliding door that leads straight to the patio.

You’ll enjoy backyard views at every meal and have easy access to outdoor dining. The room feels bright and open, with a simple wooden table and a contemporary chandelier.

It’s a space that transitions easily from casual breakfasts to formal dinners.

Covered Patio

Open the dining doors and you step right onto the covered patio. The timber-framed ceiling and stone columns really give it that mountain lodge character.

Outdoor fans help keep it comfortable on hot days, and the spacious layout lets you arrange a dining table, lounge chairs, or even an outdoor living area.

This is an ideal spot for summer evenings, morning coffee, or relaxing with friends on the weekend.

The patio connects to the backyard, so it’s easy to imagine kids or dogs running in and out while you take it easy under the shelter.

Master Suite

Set in its own private corner of the main floor, the master suite is all about comfort and privacy.

The bedroom feels like a retreat, with sliding glass doors leading to your own section of patio.

Soft gray carpeting, a bold black tray ceiling, and subtle wallpaper add layers of coziness.

There’s plenty of space for a sitting area, so you can unwind or sip your morning coffee with the sunlight streaming in.

I’m always drawn to suites that provide a bit of separation from the rest of the house, and this one really delivers.

Walk-In Closet

Connected to the master bath, the walk-in closet is spacious enough for two people to store clothes and accessories comfortably.

Custom shelving and room for a bench or small island help keep everything organized. It’s the type of closet that makes getting ready in the morning feel less hectic.

Master Bathroom

The master bath feels luxurious, but not over the top. You’ll find a double vanity with wide counters, a freestanding tub placed under a big window, and a glass-enclosed shower.

Matte black fixtures, oversized tile, and dark wood cabinets give the room a modern, calming look.

There’s enough space to move around without feeling cramped, which I think a lot of primary bathrooms miss.

The natural light here really makes it a pleasant place to start or end your day.

Bedroom #2

On the opposite side of the main floor, Bedroom 2 sits in its own private corner.

It’s large enough for guests or kids, with a full bath just steps away. Big windows keep it bright and cheerful.

You can use this room as a nursery, a guest suite, or a quiet space for a teenager.

Its location away from the master suite means everyone gets more privacy.

Bath and Powder Room

The full bath near Bedroom 2 is convenient for guests or family, and there’s a powder room near the main living areas too.

Both spaces feature simple, modern finishes. They’re easy to keep clean and feel comfortable, not cramped.

Laundry / Mud Room

Every mountain home needs a hardworking mud room, and this one delivers. There’s room for laundry with countertops for folding and cabinets for supplies.

Hooks, cubbies, and a bench make it easy to drop shoes, coats, and bags as soon as you come in from the garage.

I like how this space connects both to the kitchen and the garage, helping keep messes out of the main living areas.

3-Car Garage

If you need space for multiple vehicles, toys, or extra storage, the three-car garage is a real asset.

There’s enough room for cars, bikes, and even a workshop if you want. Direct entry to the mud room means you won’t have to lug groceries or gear through the whole house.

Open Staircase and Transition

As you head downstairs, the open staircase features a railing that overlooks both the foyer and main living area.

This keeps the levels visually connected. The flow is smooth, and when you reach the bottom, you’re welcomed into a whole new set of living spaces.

Rec Room

The lower level opens with a spacious rec room at its center. This is a go-to hangout spot and big enough for a pool table, a couple of couches, or a play area.

Large windows make sure it never feels like a basement, and the room is just as comfortable as upstairs.

I think families will appreciate having a space where fun and noise can happen without disturbing the main living areas.

Bar and Wine Cellar

Next to the rec room is a bar area and a glass-front wine cellar. Dark tile flooring and modern cabinetry set this space apart, making it a great place for adults to unwind.

You can pour drinks, store a serious wine collection, or use it as a snack station for game nights.

It really makes entertaining simple.

Media Area

Just past the bar, the media area is perfect for movie marathons or watching your favorite series.

There’s plenty of room for a large sectional, a big-screen TV, and surround sound. Since it’s a bit separate from the rec room, it’s easy to imagine relaxing here for a quiet evening or keeping the kids entertained during sleepovers.

Gym

If staying active at home is important to you, the gym is a great bonus.

At over twenty feet long, there’s space for cardio equipment, free weights, and even a yoga mat or two.

A window brings in daylight and there’s plenty of room to move. I like having a dedicated workout spot that doesn’t take away from bedroom or garage space.

Storage

A walk-in storage room helps keep the lower level organized. Store holiday decorations, camping gear, or extra linens—there’s plenty of space to keep things out of sight but easy to reach.

Bedroom #3 and Bedroom #4

Two more bedrooms on the lower level add even more flexibility. Each is generously sized, with large windows and easy access to a full bathroom.

Bedroom 3 includes its own walk-in closet, which is perfect for teens or long-term guests.

Bedroom 4 sits at the far end of the layout, maximizing privacy. I always look for this kind of separation in a multi-generational home.

Bathrooms

The lower level offers a full bath near the bedrooms and another bathroom close to the gym and storage area.

This setup means guests, teens, or in-laws have their own spaces to get ready in the morning.

No traffic jams or long waits here.

Lower Level Transitions

The downstairs layout isn’t just about adding space—it’s arranged so that different groups can do their own thing without getting in each other’s way.

You might be hosting a game day gathering, letting kids take over the rec room, or using the gym while someone works quietly in the den upstairs.

The house adapts. A wide, open feel and thoughtfully placed windows keep the lower level bright and inviting.

Every room in this home offers its own character and purpose, yet all the spaces connect in a way that makes daily living easier.

The blend of modern lines, rustic textures, and well-chosen design touches means you get both function and style.

You can gather with friends or just enjoy a quiet evening at home—and I think that’s what really sets this house apart.
