Freshly renovated, modern cabin escape. Deck living at its finest, this house is a relaxation dream home. Whether you prefer to curl up with a good book, prepare a great meal with friends or gear up for family game night, The Stepping Stone has you covered. Thoughtfully designed so you can easily gather as a group or spread out to enjoy three levels of living space…though you may just want to spend all your time on the deck, cozied up by the gas fire table! Walk straight up the stairs to the spacious deck, complete with a large grill, dining table, and comfortable cushioned couch situated around an easy-to-use gas fire table. This is the perfect spot to enjoy nature under a canopy of leaves from the surrounding maple trees, and you just might spot a deer passing by. The house has 3 proper, private bedrooms– one king (upstairs), and 2 queen bedrooms (main level) Each bedroom includes a closet and dresser. There is additional sleeping space in the open loft which has a twin daybed with trundle, and in the cozy basement, where we have a sleeper sofa. There is a full bathroom with shower on the upstairs (king bedroom/loft) level, a full bathroom with bath tub on the main level (brand newly renovated!), and a full bathroom with a walk in shower and laundry on the basement level (also newly renovated). Our home features an open layout between the kitchen and living room, with the upstairs loft overlooking the living area with Smart TV and bluetooth soundsystem (connects to your phone, and also plays CDs, casettes, and records). The kitchen was just redesigned and updated with brand new appliances including an induction stove, and has a large dining table that can comfortably seat all 8 guests so you can enjoy meals together inside or out! The finished basement provides a second living room with a large Smart TV, and more importantly-- a wet bar! Walk out to the yard to spend some time around the wood burning fire pit, the perfect spot if you're looking to roast some marshmallows! Laundry is located on the basement level.
