Indoors: Wood steps lead from the driveway up to the front door, which opens to the foyer, where more stairs rise to the main living area. An exposed beam runs across the center of the living room ceiling, and glass doors slide open to the mountain-facing deck. Wide-plank hickory pine floors continue into the dining area, which faces the kitchen. Another set of sliding-glass doors opens from the dining area to the back patio.

In the kitchen, countertops are white quartz and cabinets are knotty pine. Open shelving lines the walls above the sink. A laundry room and a powder room are off the kitchen, as is a guest bedroom with its own bathroom. The primary suite, also on this level behind wooden double doors, has windows with treetop views and a bathroom with a double vanity.

Two more bedrooms, both large enough to hold queen-size beds, are on the top floor, along with a full bathroom and a lofted area overlooking the living room below.

Outdoor space: The primary outdoor space is the front deck, which offers sweeping views of the mountains and enough space for a dining table and a grill. The patio behind the house is paved. The garage has two parking spots and space for storing ski equipment.
