Enchanting just begins to describe this charming mountain cottage located in a storybook setting with courtyard garden, sounds of Upper Bear Creek, and open space access with hiking trails. Upon entering you will be captivated by the essence of this home while appreciating the updates for comfortable present day living. Log and wood beams, hardwood floors, open floor plan, and stone fireplaces, just begin to describe this rare find. Tastefully updated kitchen with granite countertops complements the knotty pine cabinetry, built-ins and quaint breakfast nook that continue to reflect the spirit in which this was built. The living room with stone fireplace flows effortlessly into the dining and kitchen so the chef can be a part of all the activities. Easy access from this area leads into the fenced garden courtyard, the perfect respite for those evening dinners, glass of wine or morning coffee. An extra compliment is the potting shed that can also be used as an art studio or private contemplative space for those rare quiet moments. The main level also offers an office with access to the roof deck that faces the open space with views of the Aspens, Pines and sounds of the creek. Finishing the main floor is the primary 5-pc bathroom which has been updated to include a tiled shower, large tub and walk-in closet. The windows in the adjacent primary suite provide views of the charming courtyard. Lower-level walk-out has a private exterior entrance, rec room with stone fireplace, 2 bedrooms and bathroom. This area allows for the possibility of a rental or mother-in-law apartment. A built-in bench and shoe nook is part of the spacious laundry-mud room which provides a convenient area to remove your shoes before entering your beautiful home. A few steps away is the heated workshop, two car garage and access to the backyard. Convenient location to main street Evergreen, lake, hiking trails, golf, shops, restaurants, and schools. Truly a unique and special place to call home!
