Magical mountain top cottage? Yes please. This special property sits above the Ecusta trail and a few minutes from town, yet feels tucked away from it everything. You'll enjoy sunrises over mountain views, Christmas trees, grapevines, an in-ground root cellar, and loads of timeless charm. The huge screened porch with stone fireplace and rhododendron branch railing is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon naps, and evenings by the fire. The yard and garden beds are ready for your green thumbprint, with a hot tub pad perfectly positioned to take advantage of the view. Inside, the original 1959 kitchen offers both vintage charm and opportunity to make it your own. Another fireplace makes for cozy evenings indoors, with cedar-lined closets and floors throughout adding to the vintage rustic feel. The freshly renovated primary bath provides a cozy, spa-like retreat, featuring heated floors, custom vanity, and a truly luxurious two-person soaking tub. This well-maintained home also offers all-new plumbing and water heater for modern comfort and peace of mind. Second bedroom and bath area has its own exterior entrance and porch, and a third bonus room could be used as an office or bedroom for further flexibility. Wake up to birds, deer, and lush woods surrounding you with peace. This home is less than 10 minutes from town, yet feels like a remote mountaintop retreat, a rare blend of unique vintage charm, modern comforts, and gracious mountain serenity.
