Gorgeous Lake Chalet!! There are lots of marketing tropes Realtors use to describe homes, but when I asked the seller what attracted her to the home, and what she told me, in her own authentic voice seemed of special significance since it came directly from her heart. She said, "The name of our street says it all, Mountain View!" We are on the last row of houses in a year-round recreational lake community, and we face the beautiful mountains with views of forever. I love the fact that there is a walking trail easement behind the house that takes you through the woods to a small local market where you can pick up staples. The home is about five blocks from Scotts Flat Lake, far enough to be out of the traffic, but still close enough for a walk or bike ride on wide streets with gentle contours. I love the way the chalet style, Euro-inspired cabin is perched about 40 feet above the street. It provides privacy and affords a commanding view of the ingress and egress up the driveway. It allows for solitude and puts you the in the shade among beautiful towering pine trees. I love the half acre parcel. It feels so much bigger than a city lot because neighbors don't have fences. Plus: New roof and interior paint! Use address as url for the video.
