Overview

Heavy timber framing, exposed beams, and custom wood detailing create a warm, grounded feel in this solidly built 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home. Built in 2022 by a reputable local builder, this home offers a refined blend of natural woodwork and modern comfort across three finished levels totaling 1,872 sq ft. Designed with efficiency in mind, the home is exceptionally well-built and easy to maintain year-round. A continuous timber staircase spans all three floors, tying the home together with thoughtful craftsmanship.

The main level features hand-scraped hickory hardwood floors, an inviting kitchen with a generous 6′ x 4′ island, beautiful cabinetry, locally sourced granite countertops, and black stainless KitchenAid appliances. Sliding glass doors lead to a spacious covered deck, perfect for grilling, dining, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet.

Upstairs, two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings each open to a covered balcony and offer ample closet space and custom wood accents. A well-appointed full bath includes a double vanity, bidet, and open shelving.

The finished walk-out lower level provides flexible living space with radiant heated floors–ideal for a den, bunk room, office, or gym. Glass doors and large windows optimize the natural light.

Set atop an elevated 1-acre lot with filtered mountain and river views, the property feels like a true retreat. Enjoy a long private drive, outdoor shower, firepit with lean-to, woodshed, and established perennial gardens. A 5-minute stroll brings you to public land and access to over 2000′ of frontage along the Ausable River.
