This beautiful home is surrounded by tranquil forest yet is bright & sunny. Past the welcoming front porch, the open floorplan & soaring vaulted ceiling feels spacious & airy and offers 3 bedrooms + den on the upper level plus a 2nd den on the main level. The home has been lovingly maintained & constantly updated: completely updated kitchen & 2 bathrooms, ensuite mostly updated, new wood floors, new fireplaces with stone surround + built-in cabinet, new 30-year roof in 2008, new energy-efficient heaters (Energuide=77), and a 1998 permitted addition of a large bonus room with a vaulted ceiling, massive window & skylight. The kitchen has gorgeous cherry wood cabinets & a huge island that makes entertaining a pleasure. Most outstanding is the enormous 650sf south-facing sunny deck that backs onto 10.5 acres of private forested land. All of this is just a few blocks from the Dean Park walking trails, less than 5 min. from the Panorama Rec Ctr, & is around the corner from 2 golf courses
