This particular home enjoys great south-facing views toward Mount Benson, creating an appealing backdrop from several areas of the home and adding a sense of openness to the three-level layout. There is also plenty of practical outdoor space. A wide driveway provides generous parking for multiple vehicles and guests, while the attached garage offers additional parking and storage. Four separate decks extend the living space outdoors, including a covered main-level patio that can be enjoyed in a range of weather and a top-floor balcony where the surrounding outlook can be appreciated.
