Located in Shutty Bench, approximately 10 minutes north of Kaslo, this private home sits on approximately 3.5 acres with expansive views across Kootenay Lake and the Purcell Mountains. Over the years, the property has been thoughtfully renovated and updated, creating a comfortable home with space for gardening, recreation, and everyday living. The three-level home features an open kitchen, dining, and living area with an AGA cast iron range, wood-burning fireplace, updated appliances, new countertops, birch hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring, and marble tile. The main floor also includes the primary bedroom and a full four-piece bathroom. Upstairs is a loft ideal for a study, library, or home office, along with a bedroom and full bathroom. The walkout basement includes a large rec room with propane fireplace, an additional bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, storage, and access to the outdoor hot tub. Covered and open decks take in the lake and mountain views, while lawns, gardens, and two greenhouses provide space to enjoy the property. The restored log barn, heated detached double garage/workshop with wood stove, covered RV parking, and updated water system add to its functionality. Shutty Bench was one of the original farming communities surrounding Kaslo and today is known for larger rural properties, sunshine, privacy, and views. Fibre optic internet is available, while Kaslo's shops, school, health centre, and Kootenay Lake are only minutes away. (id:2493)
