This original 1964 Black Mountain gem, has been brought back to life with a full renovation in 2025: luxury, but not stuffy.

Dog treats and bear bells await on the entry table. Cruise through to the wide open gourmet kitchen that is fully equipped for holiday cooking, including basic spices and oils. Stocked by true cooks, the new stainless appliances and marble countertops afford plenty of space to prep for a delicious dinner or prepare light snacks before heading out onto the deck or patio. Enjoy a large meal at the dining table with seating for 8 (pop up table and chairs for the extra 2 if 10 in your party), or hang on the large deck with adirondack chairs and enjoy the changing views of the mountains. Grill away on the gas & charcoal grill, and afterwards plop down on the world's most comfortable sofa, stream a movie on the 55' smart tv and enjoy the gas fireplace. The home boasts 5 total bedrooms, all with new 12"-14" hybrid mattresses, black-out curtains and white noise/bluetooth/alarm clocks. The 3 bedrooms on the main level are down the hall: the master to the end of the hall on the left provides a queen bed and on-suite bath with walk-in shower. On the other side of the hall is a large bedroom with a king (dog crate in closet if needed) and another with 2 twin beds. These rooms share the large hall bathroom with tub/shower combo. Head down the stone lined stairs to the basement level, where you will find another den with 42" smart tv, gas fireplace and dedicated workspace with super fast wifi. The laundry room is tucked away off the den. Around the corner from the workspace is a very large marble tiled shower and bathroom, shared by 2 bedrooms each with their own tv's: 1 king and 1 queen. Right outside of the bedrooms is the Reading room: a space to read, do puzzles or just get away from everyone in one of the enormous chairs. Head out the basement level doors to the authentic, hand made barrel sauna with upgraded Finnish stove for a true sauna sweat session. Make sure to grab a sauna hat before you head in! Afterwards, enjoy the evening by the fire pit area or grab one of the many board games and share some laughs.
