Recent improvements enhance the home's comfort, convenience, and appeal, including a new instant hot water system with reverse osmosis water filtration, a new concrete driveway, a new refrigerator, fresh interior paint, and newly stained and sealed exterior decking. The open floor plan creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the unique multi-level design provides a wonderful sense of privacy and separation between living areas.

The new owner will have the opportunity to pursue a vacation-rental license, subject to applicable local regulations, licensing requirements, and approval. This offers the flexibility to enjoy the home as a private woodland retreat while exploring the potential for future vacation-rental use.
