Built in 1957, the well-kept post-and-beam captures expansive mountain and valley views through walls of glass. The 1,789 square feet of living space features new porcelain tile floors and high ceilings.
A mixed stone fireplace fills a far wall in the living room, and the updated kitchen has an island/bar. A dining area, three bedrooms and two updated bathrooms fill out the floor plan.
