Upstairs features Saltillo tile flooring, while the lower level includes finished concrete floors that can be left as-is or finished further. The kitchen includes solid wood cabinetry, tile backsplash, and open sightlines to the surrounding scenery. Heating is provided by one wood-burning stove and one propane stove, offering dependable warmth through the winter season.
